When You Lived In My Belly – Practice #1
Written by Jodie Metzler Darter
As a mom, Jodi Meltzer Darter answers, on average, one million questions per minute. One day, her son interrupted his endless “Why?” barrage to inquire about their innate bond: What was it like when I lived in your belly?
A delightful month-by-month storytelling of pregnancy from the perspective of both baby and mom, When You Lived in My Belly gives children a glimpse into a past they can’t remember, and takes moms back to a time they will never forget. It features kid-friendly descriptions of the developmental milestones babies reach in utero, coupled with the corresponding physical and emotional changes experienced by moms. This book also includes a page for moms to pen a personal note to their children about their individual pregnancy journey.

The design’s stability is evident in its smooth, ‘curving’ turns, contrasting with the 90-degree turns of a 2-wheel scooter—important for younger riders traversing imperfect sidewalks.
