Surreal

Being pregnant is surreal, kind of like a science fiction story where the rules of reality are casually changed.

Take last night, for instance. Normally your stomach does NOT suddenly bulge out the size of a rather large grapefruit, but when you're pregnant, hey, that's normal. Normally, in fact, your stomach is generally quiet and still. Not so when you're pregnant and the baby's moving or your muscles decide, on their own, to tighten.

But like the science fiction, it's all perfectly "normal."
