Mommy's Belly
With the due date looming aroiund the corner, we have been talking to Mariska about the baby. John keeps telling her that the baby will come out of my tummy soon. I wasn't sure if she understood, until yesterday. She brought over her little construction tape measure and measured my belly. She was very sweet about it and told me that my belly measured 9 inches. :) As I sat there she got a concerned look on her face. I asked her what the matter was and she responded with "Jack come out of mommy's belly?" I told her yes and that it would be soon. She still looked concerned so I proded again what was wrong. "Jack break mommy's belly?" was what I got. My little sweetheart is totally concerned about how Jack is going to get out. I never really thought how that would look to a three year old. Luckily assuring her that my belly would not be broken that it would be better did the trick. Can't wait until the real answers have to be given.

that is the cutest story. Can I just tell you how much I admire Mariska? I know she's "only" a child, but she inspires me and never ceases to leave me in awe. She's so special.
As the kids were sitting around the table last night eating their cookies and milk, I ruffled my hands through Riska's hair and said to Josh, "I just love this little girl so much!!" I do. She's so....cool!!!
I am still very glad for the reason of answering that question that I have c-sections. . . oh how lucky I am that I can say "the doctor's are going to cut my belly open and take the baby out!" Good luck with that question in the future!!!
