There's an alien in my belly

I realised the other day that I have said to so many people when discussing the prospect of future parenthood that being a mom doesn't worry me at all. Its not that I look at everything through rose-tinted glasses, my feet are firmly on the ground as far as having a baby goes. I am mentally prepared for sleepness nights, cyring and the constant demand for attention and it might sound weird to some people but I am really looking forward to this stage, to the unconditional love that a baby brings and to moving into the next stage of my life.

The thing that I have trouble getting used to is the fact that I have a real person growing inside me. It is the most strangest and surreal thing that I have ever encountered in my life! I know it is an absolutely miraculous thing but it still feels like I have an alien in my belly. Don't get my wrong I am really excited by it all, albeit overwhelmed, yet sometimes the thought of being a human grow bag kinda freaks me out!

Just imagine looking at your belly and seeing someone moving around inside you...how can that not seem freaky?!
