One of the interesting things about expecting a child is watching the random ways in which Candice’s belly moves when Butterfly kicks her. It’s sort of cool to all of a sudden see it move to the left or right because someone has decided that particular side is offensive and really needs to be kicked, punched, headbutted, or whatever. It also leads to a lot of “Ow!” being heard around the house as Butterfly decides to pummel her surroundings. I’m sure that all of the mothers (and moms to be) in the audience feel Candice’s pain. From my side though- the best I can do is be understanding and try not to shoot diet pepsi out my nose when Candice makes a particularly funny facial expression due to these prenatal antics. Also, I’ve noticed that Butterfly likes to change where she sits regularly. Sometimes Candice won’t look as pregnant as she is, but 20 minutes later when Butterfly has moved it looks like she’s MUCH further along; it can disturbing to see happen.

Expectant Fathers! Another fun game is to take a depth gauge and measure the depth of her belly button as the pregnancy progresses. She’ll love it!
