What is it with a pregnant woman's belly that makes everybody want to touch it? It's not that I am jealous of Jessi, or her belly, I just find it very strange that even almost-complete-strangers want to stroke her belly. Some people have even pressed their ear to the belly. Hoping to hear ... what? Any sound, I guess.
I asked a friend of mine about this on Saturday at a party, and he just declared that a pregnant woman's belly is public property, because "she is carrying one of us." A fellow human? A fellow Finn? A jolly good fellow?
He didn't reply. He took
another beer instead.
Yes, granted, Jessica is a holder of a miracle now. I guess what I am just saying is that maybe that miracle (and her holder) should be approached with a little respect.
Or maybe I am saying that I am a little jealous.
Anyway, whoever does listen to the sounds may be pleasantly surprised. "
Vilda Hilda" (wild Hilda in Swedish, as we call her now) is definitely kicking it.
