So yes we are expecting our third baby...August 27th. We are excited, but the kids have been constantly talking about the little miracle in my belly, especially Gabe! I have showed them ultrasounds on YouTube each week, so they can see how the baby is growing. Every time I am on the computer they think I am looking at babies and then ask to see them. A few times I have let Gabe hold the computer and choose the babies he wants to see. The last time I did that, I left the room for a short time and when I came back I was just in time to see Gabe click on a birthing video. Come on people...that is not helpful! You should not publish your cho cha with a giant baby coming out of it! Whatever happened to privacy!? That is supposed to be a private moment between you and the few people you choose to be in the room, not the entire world! Anyway, that brings me to the conversation that Gabe later started with me...
Gabe: Is the baby going to come out of your crotch?
Me: Well, yes. That is the plan.
Gabe: Where else would the baby come out?
Me: Well, sometimes the Dr. has to take the baby out of some mommy's tummies.
Gabe: Do daddies and big boy brothers get to see?
Me: No, just daddies get to see the baby come out. That is the rule at the hospital.
Gabe: Well are you going to have the baby at your hospital?
Me: Yes
Gabe: Well I want you to have him somewhere else.
Me: Why?
Gabe: Because I want to watch mommy!
Yikes!
That kid cracks me up! He has been so funny lately. The other day I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said a firefighter. Then he said on the days he wasn't fighting fires he wanted to be a monster truck driver. Then he said that the days he wasn't driving a monster truck or fighting fires, he wanted to be a dirt bike racer. Then he said on the days that he wasn't doing any of those things, he wanted to be a nurse like me. I reminded him that he will have to go to college before he does any of those things because school is really important. Then he asked me if I could come with him to college. Of course I said sure and told him that we could have bunk beds. He chose the top. I told him that while he was at school I would do his laundry and make him dinner. He said that would be great and then offered to do my laundry and cook me dinner while I was at work. So cute. He told me that he couldn't wait until he was done with school and we could work together. I really should have gotten that on video. Just so I could remember my little boy that is growing up so fast and wiped my kiss from his cheek for the first time when I dropped him off at school (while in front of his friends). On the up side, he still loves to snuggle!
My little Claire has been so concerned that I have not been feeling well (still). She always says, 'you not feeling good mommy?' and sometimes she will lay down next to me and say, 'I'll snuggle you. That will make you feel better.' Her little voice is so cute. She talks nonstop- wonder where she got that!?
Every night before she goes to bed she needs to give her babies a kiss and a hug. She has three baby beds in her room and once she has kissed and hugged all of her babies, they all get covered up and then she sings to them. She is such a little mommy.
Both of the kids still kiss and hug my belly before they go to bed.
As for Logan and I, we just got back from a wonderful visit to Colorado Springs. We met my parents, aunt and uncle, and Grandma and Grandpa out there to watch my brother and his fellow falcons take on Mercyhurst. Killed them the first game 8-0 and lost Saturdays game 3-2. Tonight is the last game in regular season, but they have at least clenched a spot in the playoffs. So excited for my little bro!
Til next time...
