About that baby...

The kids have varied responses and thought processes concerning the upcoming arrival of their sibling.

Matthew keeps his eye on the goal:
"So when are we switching the bedrooms so I can have my own room?"

He's also interested in the birth process:
(With his hand on my stomach during a random, painless contraction) "Does that mean it's time to go to the hospital?"

Jamie Beth is observant of my condition:
"Mom, after baby comes, will you be able to bend down and pick stuff up off the floor again?"

Dallin is ready and prepared:
(A couple days before my due date) "So baby is coming any minute now?"

Nate has plans:
"When our baby comes, we get to have pizza for dinner!"
and...
"I will not smack our baby; I will give her a binky."

I'm happy for you! You look so pretty and I'm so glad Jamie Beth gets a sis! I think I'd have another if it was a girl!

Oh, I can just imagine and hear their voices and responses now. Best of luck!

I've been meaning to call and see how you are. I am excited for you! We're going out of town next week, but I'll be in touch when I get back. I love all the excitement that comes with a baby being born--so fun!!!
