I have a recurring dream every couple of months that is rather odd. I honestly think it stems from a fear that I have in the back of my mind. It is quite bothersome but even a bit amusing. My husband has a younger brother who is 17 and he has a young girlfriend who is only 14. The dream I have every so often is not so much about them, but more about their future.
It is always the same. I am always in a local department store with two very young children that technically belong to my brother inlaw and his girlfriend, but for some reason I am now raising these babies. What's really odd is these two little babies always look the same, and the same thing always happens. I am holding the baby boy, who is only about 6 months old and looking through clothing in the childrens department. Meanwhile, the little girl, who is about 3 years old, always disappears and I am frantically trying to find her. It always ends the same too. I end up running through the entire store with this cute little black haired baby boy on my hip. I finally find the adorable little girl with long, black hair crying in the mens shoe department next to the cowboy boots. Then I wake up, sometimes crying myself and scared to death. Usually my hubby wakes up too and says "You had the dream again, didn't you?"
So, the only reason I could imagine that I do this, is my fear that I will someday be both an aunt and a mom to these currently nonexistent children.
Well, I don't mean to reply to myself here, but I thought you all might want to know the latest on this story if you happened to read my OP. Last week we found out that my brother inlaw and his extremely young girlfriend are going to be parents...I just cannot tell you how I feel because I honestly don't know. It's like I was just waiting for the news, but it also breaks my heart because I fear this child will not be taken care of or raised properly. So, who knows what will happen? I may end up being an aunt and a second Mom. However, if that's what it takes to ensure this baby is cared for as it should be, I am willing to give it my all.
I am trying to do the math and apparently failing. When you were having these dreams did you already know that your brother-in-law and his 14 year old girlfriend were pregnant!? If not, then you may have some sort of psychic abilities. No, just kidding. Seriously though. I don't blame you for these dreams. I would have to say that God be with these two children who are now having a child. I pray for them and more so the littlest one on the way. I truly hope they can grow up and care for this baby the way they will need to. If not, then it sounds like you may need to step in and help them out. I truly wish you the best of luck as well. It would be great to hear from you and learn of what the outcome actually winds up being. I am going to pray that the new life is safe, healthy, and all involved are happy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you for your prayers! We need them! No, actually I have been having this dream off and on for at least the last 6-8 months! I have also been trying to talk to my inlaws heads for the last year and tell them to keep a closer eye on these kids. This has been like talking to the Moon b/c they always said "Oh, they won't do that!" Well, who was right? My BIL's little girlfriend was actually pregnant for 3 1/2 mths before they told anyone! So, that makes me worry even more. She is going to the dr this week and this will be her first prenatal care visit because she could not get in to see an OBGYN any sooner. So, if you don't mind, please continue to pray for them and all of us. I just want this baby to be safe and healthy and if that means I take it in as my own then I certainly will. My husband's parents can in no way raise a baby b/c my MIL has Hodgkins Lymphoma and I'm not certain that the girlfriend's mom can either b/c she has 4 of her own that she struggles as a single mom to provide for. Thank you for your kind words and I will continue to update everyone on how things go.
For those who know more on this, is a recurring dream something specific to start with not counting what the dream is really about? They always tend to boggle my mind.
I don't know about everyone else, but it seems like mine normally starts and ends at the same place everytime. I go to sleep and the next thing I know there I am again shopping in that same store with those same two babies. It always ends with me and the kids in the mens shoe aisle and the little girl is crying because she got lost. It is pretty mind boggling in my opinion.
