Being pregnant is a very strange time full of confusion and deep thinking. It's one of those things you really don't understand until you are experiencing it and even then, you only REALLY understand your own unique experience.
The thing that blows me away is how much it makes me feel like a basic animal. We like to think of ourselves as humans, not animals, forgetting that humans are just a type of animal. Suddenly when you are pregnant, there is a very natural and animal like thing happening in your body. There is a baby growing and moving and living inside your abdomen! Your body changes, your hormones are out of whack and at some point that baby is going to come out and need your constant attention. I tell you when you feel a baby in your belly kick or have hiccups or roll over... You've never felt more like just another mammal. So here I am... A mammal of the human variety, producing offspring. It's a very weird an humbling feeling... But very cool :)
