Babies have been a popular conversation topic with Connor, even before I got pregnant. He has said some really sweet and funny things. One day when he and his future brother or sister read this, they will get a good laugh. I know I did!
Reading about what it's going to be like to be a big brother.
*BEFORE I GOT PREGNANT*
10/18/16 We are watching cartoons and he looks at me and asks.
Connor: Mommy, there a baby in your tummy now?
Me: No sweetie. Why?
Connor: Awwww. I want a baby in my house.
{Our friend Allison did ask him at lunch if he wanted a baby brother or sister, so I guess he was still thinking about it.}
11/21/16 I am at Connor's preschool picking him up for the day and his teacher pulls me aside and smiles at me and hands me a paper that they did together for Thanksgiving. She wrote down exactly what Connor said, and when I read it I am shocked! I wasn't pregnant at the time, but was pretty shortly after. He must have had a feeling there would be a baby in mommy's tummy soon.
*Fast forward to today when I am taking a picture of it to put on here and he sees it and says "It says: my mommy is going to have a baby"* He remembers!
*AFTER I GOT PREGNANT*
1/8/17 Connor was asking us if he could sleep in our room with us.
Me: But Connor, you're going to be a big brother soon and you need to sleep in your own room like a big boy.
Connor: But the baby's not out already.
1/20/17 We are talking to Ellie and my sister on the phone.
Ellie: Connor, do you want a baby brother or sister?
Connor: A brother.
Lisa/Tia: If it's a girl, can we keep her?
Connor: *telling me* If it's a boy we keep it, if it's a girl they keep her.
*an hour later we are talking to my mom*
Me: What happens if we have a girl?
Connor: Give it to Tia.
Memaw: Can I have her?
Connor: Okay. You can have her.
1/24/17 I just turned 9 weeks pregnant and we were looking at a video of what the baby looks like at this stage.
Connor: It actually looks like a baby. Like a little cutie.
1/25/17 We are talking about the baby.
Connor: If it's a girl we keep it and it's an accident. If it's a boy it's not an accident.
Me: Where do mommy's have babies?
Connor: Outside, in the grass, in the dark.
1/29/17
Connor: Mommy! We should call our baby zombie.
Me: Noooo!
Connor: Why? That's a good name.
1/30/17 We are laying in bed together.
Connor: Mommy, maybe we can call our baby Catboy.
Me: Oh really?
Connor: Yeah.
Me: What if it's a girl?
Connor: But I don't like girl babies. I love boy babies.
2/12/17 We are looking at the weekly video of the baby and Connor got confused with the umbilical cord.
Connor: It's not a rat tail, right mommy? Tails supposed to be on butts, not in pee pees.
Me: *showing Connor where the umbilical cord is actually connected*
Connor: Oh...
2/18/17 We are at my 12 week ultrasound appointment waiting to be called back.
Connor: You are going to have a boy or a girl.
Me: Which one do you think it is?
Connor: A boy.
Me: Oh yeah?
Connor: Mommy, I think you're right. It's going to be a girl.
2/20/17 We are sitting at the table eating breakfast.
Me: I think I felt the baby kick last night.
Connor: I want to feel!
Me: It's too early for you to feel the baby.
Connor: *puts his hand on my belly* I feel it! I feel it kicking a little bit. That's a funny baby!
3/1/17 Connor loves asking which "begetable" the baby is that week. We are looking at the app that shows what the baby looks like and the size.
Connor: Mommy, his toes are perfect now.
Me: They are!
Connor: But his head is not perfect.
Me: Why not?
Connor: Because his eyes are closed.
a little later...
Connor: I think it's a boy, not a girl.
Me: What if it's a girl?
Connor: It's an accident. And a boy is okay.
Me: Oh.
Connor: And you want a girl and a boy is an accident. If daddy gets which one he wants then that's okay.
Later that evening he gives me a big hug and then pats my belly.
Me: What are you doing?
Connor: I'm touching your belly. It's so cute. I can feel the baby kick.
3/9/17 We are walking hand in hand from the playground to the car.
Kelsey: What are you going to name the baby?
Connor: I don't know.
Me: Maybe Olivia or Austin?
Connor: Maybe Connor Junior?
3/12/17 We are sitting together in the living room talking about the baby.
Connor: What if you don't like it?
Me: I'm going to love it sweetie.
Connor: But what if you don't like it?
Me: I'm going to.
Connor: I'm going to kiss him, daddy's going to hug him, and you're going to change him.
