    About this ebook

    Nikie is a newborn baby who, from the very first moment of her birth, has amazing powers to speak like an adult, make words appear in the air, turn words and sentences into colors and symbols, and speak in mathematical terms. How her parents Nick and Angie and her doctors accept and deal with these amazing and astonishing powers is the essence of Baby Babble.

      Day 0: Nikie’s Birth Day

      The newborn baby girl’s name was Nikie, named after her father Nick and her mother Angie.

      Nikie was born on a smoldering, wet afternoon, at 3:27 P.M. Greenwich Mean Time, in one of those trendy birthing rooms popular in hospitals catering to families who want a homey feeling. Angie’s room had peach-colored walls, a queen-sized bed covered with a soft, white goose down comforter and a cuddle of stuffed teddy bears laying on throw pillows.

      Next to Angie’s bed sat a white bassinet, just under a picture window that looked out onto a green forest landscape at the back of the hospital. In the bassinet, was a baby blanket, light pink with white bunny patterns adorning it, handmade and sewn by Angie’s great aunt May. Aunt May knitted baby hats and sweaters for all of Angie’s sisters’ babies and hearing that Angie was going to have a girl, May made the bunny-covered baby blanket for the happy event.

      Angie and Nick were in the birthing room just down the hall from the family room, where Angie’s obstetrician, Dr. Allen Adams wielded stainless steel forceps in his gloved hands to guide Nikie’s head out of the birth canal. An obstetrical nurse stood by Dr. Adam’s side to assist. Nick stood at the head of the bed, gently holding his wife’s hand wanting to be part of the birthing process, but for moral support, not as a medical assistant. When the doctor asked Nick if he wanted to join him at the end of the bed just inside the sheet covering the stirrups holding Angie’s legs high up in the air, thinking about it, Nick politely declined. He wanted to be with Angie at the moment of Nikie’s birth but wanted the doctor to hand his newborn daughter to him after her birth. The sight of blood always made Nick a little queasy.

      While Nikie struggled in the birth canal and with the doctor gently pulling on her fragile head with steel forceps, Nick tightly held Angie’s hand and whispered into her ear, breathe, sweetheart, breathe, and commanded her to, take slow, quick breaths; instructions he and Angie had learned together in a birthing class at the local community college. When he did, and feeling the searing pain
