I think that between my genetics and his, the baby could turn out to be just what I want in a child…I love my boyfriend because he is a noble man, sentimental and a giving person.

She tells People En Espanol that in those dreams she imagines the baby "in high school and with perfect clothes, clean, taken care of, polite, a doll."  Pregnancy has been a revelation for Alicia, who says that expectant motherhood makes her "feel like a complete woman" and that she doesn’t know "if there’s anything left for me to do [in life]."
