Butterflies racing in tummy,
Mind rehearsing the word 'Mummy',
That's how the next few hours went
The gift was unexpected, but God-sent.

Touching my stomach with utmost care,
I whispered slightly,"Are you really in there?"
Maybe too small to give a reply
The little one was already making us fly.

Then arrived the moment to disclose the big news
To tell everyone of the arrival of our muse,
At present, a little dot in my tummy
One who'll soon call me mummy.

Shy at first, we disclosed to our family
The news brought a surprise surely
Laughter and joy were soon to follow
Our world would soon revolve around a little fellow.
