less than 3 months to go!

My little ticker has let me know that we have 89 days to go. Last week, when I saw it at around 100 I thought, "Wow, It will be less than 100 days soon." And I still didn't believe it, fully. Pregnancy seems filled with these moments of disbelief and revelation.
A couple of days ago the baby was shifting around a bunch and I wondered where he/she was(up or down) and I was feeling along my belly and had the craziest thought(a thought that sounds obvious, but felt crazy)... I thought, "There is a BODY in my body!" and I felt a shock. The larger the baby grows and the more the baby moves, the more real this all is. It is one thing to know something, mindfully, and another to feel it so physically.

  2. I have a friend who used to say that no matter the beauty and all the fuzzy feelings people talk about regarding maternity, she said many times she was plainfully weirded out by the situation, as if the baby was an 'alien', this other organism developing inside and feeding from her body. It must be really strange to feel that. Wow, less than 90 days... awesome!

  3. How exciting and yes, it's a little disconcerting to have a human in your belly.
