I turned nine weeks yesterday. To mark this joyous occasion, Kara and I had the following conversation after I came home from work:
Kara: Mommy, I missed the baby in your belly!
Frema: Aw, we missed you, too, honey! Melts, hugs firstborn lovingly against her breast
Kara: I want to put the baby in my belly. Makes grabbing motions towards occupied uterus, rubs tummy satisfactorily
Frema: It doesn't work like that, honey. Only Mommy can have a baby in her belly.
Kara: I have a baby in my belly! Runs around dining table, victorious
Frema: Big girls can't have babies in their bellies, honey, only mommies can, uh (rethinks statement) - well - you have to be older.
Kara: I'm not a big girl, I'm a little girl.
Frema: Stands corrected.
Well, that makes the conversation easier! I am glad AJU5 was too little to understand too much when I was pregnant with AJU6 because I am not looking forward to those conversations.

I love Kara. She's a sassy one, huh?
I can't believe you're only 9 weeks along. For some reason it seems like we've known for longer than that! I hope your first trimester queasiness and exhaustion are letting up. Before you know it you'll be feeling kicks!! Stay healthy, my friend.

It's crazy to think that she is old enough to be talking and such! Even though she is older than my son and the kid NEVER shushes for a moment (he seriously talks in his sleep all the time)... THREE soon.. can you believe it?!?
