Lucas met Elsa in hospital on the Friday and he wasn't exactly jumping for joy. He was curious but also a bit dismissive and when Daniel held Elsa, well that was the end of that. Lucas decided he wanted to be held by Daniel and when Daniel asked him to wait that's when the tears started. Oh dear.

Good Night Baby
With only 2 weeks to go before bubs due date we have now switched from saying "baby in mummy's tummy" to "baby coming soon" as this baby isn't going to stay in mummy's tummy forever!
Lucas and I bought a present for baby the other weekend and I made a big deal about Lucas picking out the present (a cotton blanket) and we wrapped it up together. The nursery is now all set up and Lucas takes great pride in pointing out that he sleeps in a big boy's bed and not a cot (bassinet).
When we say good night, Lucas will say "Good night Baby" and give my bump a kiss. Lets hope this affection continues once bubs arrives!

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!
