My wife Ayako wrote me an email about this post, and her description of being pregnant was beautiful so I post it here:
"there are some magical things about being pregnant. being two as one was very special. even when i wasn't even showing, i was noticing little reactions that he made inside me. i could feel a pain, when i saw a baby on street and it was kirito responding to another young spirit in outer-world.
his kicks and hick-ups sometimes lasted for half an hour. the gravity and the weight of him affected my entire body as a whole. i was getting bigger and bigger. my body wasn't only mine, it was a chamber for him.
birthing him was even more extraordinary. i told you over and over that i felt like i was connecting to the universe when he was coming through me."
