Baby on the Brain

We've all got baby on the brain over here. Jacob has moved in with the girls, and at first was a little sad. Until we explained to him that his old bed and bedroom were for the baby when he comes out, and then he was fine. "Oh, baby. Oh." and nodded and went on with what he was doing. So sweet.

I am amazed at how much this little guy understands about what it going on, even though he can't talk and communicate as much as he'd like. He is only 2, after all. We were reading a book about baby animals made out of fruits and vegetables, and the last baby was a human baby (made out of apples or something). Anyway, he pointed to it and said, "Momma-baby" and then pointed to my stomach. And sometimes he'll kiss my belly or hug it or try to feed goldfish to it.

The girls have been very excited as well. They've been counting down the days till my scheduled c-section for awhile, as well as a countdown to when my mom comes (today! Hurray!). One day when we figured out we could actually count down the days, Audrey started jumping around yelling the number, while Kierra came up and whispered in my ear, "I can't wait to see what the baby looks like!" Jacob, seeing all this excitement for the baby, came up to my other ear and whispered, "Baby." Oh, the heart melts sometimes.

Anyway, the big day is Thursday, March 4th!! Only 5 more days!! Wish us luck!
