heart marks the spot

today on my train ride to work i was relaxing, listening to music, preparing myself for the day, when suddenly i felt a little thump in my tummy. at first i thought nothing it, but quickly i realized, that was my baby. it was the most exciting part of my day.

according to ancient egyptian, greek, american, and indian beliefs, the first movement marked the moment when the soul entered the fetus. aboriginals regard the location where the first quickening is felt as highly significant for the baby.
