Sharing My Body with Another Soul

From time to time, the profundity of what being pregnant truly signifies hits me. Today, while talking with my mother-in-law, we started talking about how tired I was feeling all the time. And she responded, "Well, you are caring another soul inside of you right now. You are sharing your body with that person for the next 9 months! Of course you are tired!" I hadn't really thought of it like that before. I mean, I've always believed that we have a soul, and at some point during pregnancy, a new soul enters the fetus inside the womb. But I'd never really thought about what it means to carry another soul inside of me. What a beautiful thought.
