Slight Change in Plans :(

We were planning on going to strong to see spider man however due to Williams cough and such as well as my recent diagnosis of bronchitis et all, we took him to the doctor.  He had strep...  I didn't see that one coming.

Thankfully I had not told the kids of this surprise so that they were not too disappointed not to go. And we had a great day despite Williams illness as he was not acting very sick anyway.

Daddy asked William and Evelyn how we could tell if mommy had babies in her belly (It drove me nuts that he kept using the plural as I only have one baby in me and the kids are already excited to have twin siblings as they have asked the stars for twins... and it made me a bit sad too)

William (without hesitation): "We need to put a hole in her belly"
Dad: "We need to put a hole in her belly?"
William: "Yes, Sorry mom.  But we will fix you up when we are done."

Evelyn was a little more practical and told us that we should go to the doctor.

Jason then went into a long talk about measuring hormones in the urine and the ultrasound machine.  It was a bit much but he said if they dreamed of bats that maybe they could tell us if there was a baby in there.  And I said that maybe they will leave us a picture so we will be leaving out the Ultrasound tonight and they will know tomorrow.

Calming the baby

As I started to read or night time support tonight William patted my belly and said "calm down baby, calm down".  I smiled at him and asked if he was soothing the baby and he said " yes the baby needs to call down because she is nearsighted".  Evelyn and William proceeded to pat my belly to calm the baby.

Mommy's fragile...

Today I told William to be careful with mommy because I was fragile.  He told me that I was not fragile in fact people are only fragile if they have babies in their belly or of they have dead babies on their belly.  he asked me if the babies were still in me and I told him no.  He then drew the conclusion that I was not fragile.  I think we will have to tell these guys soon.

Climbing

William is getting more advanced and daring in his climbing.  Today he pushed a chair up to tthe counter top, climb up said chair, stand on said chair, climb up onto the counter top, army crawl across the counter, grab a banana, reverse crawl back to the edge, down to the chair where he sat and proceeded to peel and eat the whole banana.  Boy am I glad that dad was there to watch.  and yet I wish he had stopped him from climbing on the counter...
