Baby
I've been pretty slack with new blog entries but time has gotten away from me (again!) especially as Lucas has a baby brother or sister on the way! Bubs is due 23rd November 2008 so not long to go now - 12 weeks!
Daniel and I weren't sure when and how we were going to tell Lucas about a sibling on the way but as it turns out we didn't really need to worry too much about it! At my 18 week antenatal appointment the Obst did a beside scan and Lucas was with us. He looked at the TV screen and said "baby!" as he obviously could make out the shape/outline as it was kicking away and sucking its thumb and then looked at me and said "in mummy's tummy!". Every time the Obst moved the scanner thing, bubs would move and Lucas was able to make the connection that what was on the screen related to what was inside his mummy's tummy so I think he now knows there's a baby on the way!
Later that night he lifted up my top and patted my tummy and said "baby" again and then pulled my top back down. When I asked him if there was a baby brother or sister in mummy's tummy he said "sister" but I think that was because sister is easier to say than brother! He now will kiss my tummy goodnight and say "baby" and will also say "baby in mummy's tummy" and having bought a baby capsule recently I think it is sinking in a bit that this baby may be coming home one day soon!
