Don't worry, gentlemen readers, this shouldn't embarrass you...though if you think it might just stop reading! The girls were discussing how many babies they want when they grow up. LadyBug said she wants two twins, two by two. (that means two sets) She said she didn't think she could handle more than that. But she could give them bottles and that might help. This is where thinking like an adult can get you into trouble! Silly me, I am assuming the deliveries would be years apart! Trying to reassure her as to her ability to care for TWO babies at a time I said, "Or you could still nurse them. Mommies can nurse twins." She thought for a minute as she stared at her chest. Then she said, "But, Mommy I don't have enough nursers for that!"
Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th...
Oh this is just too cute!!! I think I had too much nursers for Chicken Little... LOL!!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering what FlowerChild had to say about it all....
CUTE! :)
ReplyDeleteMama Hen: Oh you should have seen me trying to keep as serious a face as she had! FlowerChild was mysteriously quiet for once!
ReplyDeleteTiffany: Just wait! Your precious ones are old enough this time to take everything in! It is hilarious to see what their take is on everything when it comes to babies.
