Pregnancy is so weird, sometimes I wonder what other mammals must think of it. On what level is a female aardvark, for example, aware that she is carrying a tiny aardvark-ito inside her fleshy belly? Does she just assume she has ongoing indigestion and is randomly getting fatter, until that day when her infant-vark suddenly pops out?
I bring this up in particular because it’s hard to ignore the subject of the video below: a pregnant mammal’s baby moving inside the womb forcefully enough so the mama-to-be, as well as anyone nearby, can see.
Our baby is HIGHLY active in utero, so this dance happens within my torso every few hours. It feels kind of like when your stomach flips as you zoom down a roller coaster… except it lasts way longer. As you watch the crazy 35-second video of my baby rockin’ out inside my belly, ponder: what must a lady manatee think of such sensations???

While I am happy for my baby creating friends and colleagues, all I have to say is, “NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.”

Hehe — it is totally insane. I’ve enjoyed the ride, madness though it is, but to each her own!
Hogga says
Wow, that’s crazy.
Kanaya says
That is amazing he is so active!
Cheryl Howard says

Joe says
Woah, did you choose a name yet?
Lillie says
We did, but shall not reveal it until the birth!

WOW!!!!!!!! He really is active! He is going to be a great athlete! I wonder which sport he will get into! Maybe baseball. It’s my fav sport, so I hope so! Then I can look at the TV and go, “That’s my 7th grade Humanities teacher’s son!”
Kelly says
WOW
Lillie says
Yup… He’s an active little fellow! I wonder how much that will translate to him being rambunctious or athletic outside of the womb.
