Sister

I have a couple of conversations to share between Madilynn and I about the baby in my belly. This morning Madilynn asked me if we were going to the doctor to look at mommy's belly. I said no we aren't going today, and then I asked her if she wanted to see a picture of what the baby looked like in my belly, and she said yes, so I headed to the computer to pull up a picture to show her, and she said, "Go see a baby's nap, not here yet" she was referring to the baby crib. She likes to look at it and in it, and I guess make sure if the baby is there yet or not. Anyway, so I pull up the picture and show her, and then I pointed to my belly and said that the baby is in mommy's belly like that, and she said, "My sister's coming, I like sisters" as she hugged my belly.

A couple of days ago we had a similar conversation that went like this. Madilynn and I were sitting in the baby's room looking at the crib. Madilynn said, "Baby go night night in there." I said, "yep, when she gets here that's where she'll sleep." Then I asked Madilynn, "Do you know what her name is?" and she quickly replied, "Yeah." I said what is her name, and Madilynn replied, "Sister, my sister".

I thought it was so cute! I think she is looking forward to having a sister. I can't believe how big she is getting, maybe she is starting to understand a little bit.
