The other day I posted a "photo" of the fetus on my MySpace page. I thought for certain it would was obviously be understood as a joke - since it was, you know, an ALIEN, like from space?! Well, it wasn't. I had a few people ask me if the photo was " one of those 4-D ultrasounds or something?" because it was slightly disturbing. The whole thing was that the actual ultrasound scans from a couple of weeks ago freaked ME out, because they looked slightly alien-ish, and it's been a joke in my little world since. I always have this fear of giving birth to a Some thing rather than a Some one, and at the end of pregnancy I have actual nightmares about pushing a baby out, only to look down and be greeted by this:
Anyway, I should know better, since the last two times I've had a baby girl, they've been very non-alien-like and very human. I only hope we're so lucky this time.
