Last night, something extraordinary happened. The thought of it is even still so surreal. Here I was lying comfortably on the bed watching some “law and order” when suddenly without warning I felt Nicholas strolling around in my womb. That in and of itself is customary, the extraordinary part was when I glanced down at my stomach and saw my belly moving around in sync with his movements. I absolutely froze. My heart started racing and I was completely immobilized. Feeling him is one thing – seeing it is completely another. I wanted to run downstairs to show Mario or to scream out for him to come up, but I just couldn’t move – and I didn’t want to move. I wanted to tell someone but the phone was out of my reach; I just needed some other pair of eyes to witness this amazing event. My emotions were somewhere between apprehension and anxiety. I wanted it to stop but then I didn’t want it to stop, so I just laid there and watched as my belly mimicked the movements of a Polynesian dancer.
Finally, Mario came upstairs and I wanted to scream “Honey, quick! Look at my belly!” And I tried, but of course I opened my mouth and the words were stuck somewhere inside. But, thankfully, as I glanced up at him, he seemed to have read my mind, since immediately his eyes moved down to my belly and he saw, what I believe to be the most amazing event in the world – he saw my belly dance to our son’s beat!

So Nikki decided she would post something to the blog and ends up talking about Polynesian dancers, belly dance and what not. See this is why mommy is not allowed on daddy's blog. You allow one post and next thing you are reading something resembling poetry. And what the heck does this mean:
"My emotions were somewhere between apprehension and anxiety"
Sheesh!
Nikki and I write alike. Reading this post was like reading a book. Mario has such a sense of humor in his writing and is very laid-back and will tell it like it is, as opposed to Nikki whose writing is more poetic and sort of culminates then lingers with much detail at all the best parts.
Newho, enough of my linguistic analysis. I honestly did not know that one could SEE the outside of the stomach move as the baby moves from within. Now that's madness!

This is beautiful!!
What more could a girl ask for, I would be ecstatic if my husband decided to blog about our expected bundle of joy.
I wish you and your wife all the happiness in the world!!
