Daddy's Joy

Nikki just came back from Jamaica after spending the weekend there. Of course she took Nicholas with her and thus deprived me of my boy for the weekend. (Put another way, “she tek mi pickney an gaan whey a farrin fi de weekend yuh nuh seet!)

Anyways while there she said Nicholas wouldn’t move. She wanted her Mom and Aunt to feel him move but nothing. And even though she was eating all the good food (mango, ackee and saltfish an' breadfruit wid fried dumpling, yeah mon she call an’ a showoff de whole time she dung deh) he wasn’t moving an inch. Of course, she came back and once back in familiar surroundings he starting traipsing all over Mommy’s uterus. Last night as we huggles (that’s a cross between hugs and snuggling), he started moving. Again, Nikki thought that he was moving at the sound of my voice (or because we were talking about him!).

It seems he is developing his own personality but really he was just adding to his daddy’s joy!
