27 Week And Dreaming

Our baby reaches its 27th week and this is what happens according to babycentre:
The baby now weighs nearly 2 pounds/ 875 grams and measures 14.5 inches/ 36.6 centimetres from head to toe. Her eyes open and close, she sleeps and wakes at regular intervals and she may suck a finger or thumb.
Sweet dreams, little baby! Some experts believe that babies begin to dream by the 28th week. What do they dream about? No one knows for certain but the brain is active this week as well. The characteristic grooves on the brain's surface start to appear and more brain tissue develops.
The baby is dreaming! Wow! I cannot understand what she’s dreaming as her experience now is basically only playing tug o war using my wife’s cord. Does she dream about us? And how is that possible? She never saw us. She might not even understand what a grown man looks like. Or does she dream about us being the same baby as her? Dreaming that the mom and dad are surrounded by liquid outside her placenta?

Does she dream about how the parents are so happy and filled with joy waiting for her coming into this world? Hope she does. Because it’s not a dream.
