Haha, an alien. As bubby grows and you can feel him/her move it will start to feel alot more real and you should begin to bond

. Some pregnancies I didn't bond much until after they were born but my first I did

. How exciting!

Don't worry about the bond. I was very young when I had my first baby and she looked at me with the big blue eyes and I was scared to death. Inside of two weeks I was in love the likes of which nothing else will ever touch. This weekend at her house I watched her as her little boy kissed me (his nana) goodnight. And I can tell you she feels just like I did all those years ago. And you will too. Lucky, lucky you--boyfriend, no boyfriend. This is a wonderful time for you.

Oh, and you think you will keep the baby, but really, the baby will keep you.

Congratulations again.

That's normal because it kinda is. No worries-there's a reason for nine months of gestation. You have plenty of time to prepare. As much as you can prepare. Congrats!
