The Fits and Starts of Growing A Baby In A Bucket

From a dream I had last night

I got pregnant, but it would not grow. It kept withering and I kept forgetting it. I felt I lost control. Every time I remembered about it I would find it all withered and dried out. It was like an alien. I would put it back inside me to help it grow and be moist again, but the same thing happened when I forgot it.
