Mommy's Silly Looking Belly

There have been a couple of very funny conversations that I have had with Sibley lately about the pregnancy.  This first one she still had no idea I was pregnant. 

So one evening I was giving her a bath and I'm kneeling at the bathtub so my stomach is kind of sticking out a little more than usual and it's after I've eaten dinner so it's really looking big!  So she's in the bathtub and looks down at my stomach and does a little giggle.  So here is the conversation:
Me: "what's so funny?" 
Sibley: "you're belly."
Me: "what's so funny about it?'
Sibley: "it's silly!"
Me: "Why is it silly?"
Sibley: "It just is, it's silly like Poppi's!" (Poppi is Justin's dad)
Me: "So is my belly starting to look like Poppi's belly?"
Sibley: she laughs and says "Yea!"


So the next one was when I told her I had a baby in my belly...

Me: "Hey Sibley, come here and talk to me because I have something very important to tell you!"
She starts getting pretty excited and wants to know what I want to tell her.
"So have you noticed my belly getting bigger lately?"
Sibley "Yes!" while giggling
Me: "Why do you think my belly is getting bigger?"
Sibley: "Because you've been eating a lot of food?"
Me: "No...do you want to guess again?"
Sibley: "Because you've been eating a lot of dinner?"
Me: "No...it's because I have a baby in my belly!"

It took her a minute to process this and then she got very excited and definitely thinks (or wants) it to be a girl so she can have a baby sister!  She is really excited and loves calling people on the phone to tell them that "mommy has a baby in her belly!"  Wyatt just keeps saying, "I want to see your baby in your belly."  Just showing him my belly and explaining that the baby is inside so we can't see it yet seems to do the trick for now.  But he randomly wants to "see the baby" throughout the day.  It's pretty cute!  Oh and today they both were talking to my belly saying, "hi baby!  are you healthy?  are you eating good?"  All while Wyatt is petting my stomach because he knows you have to "pet" babies and be gentle.  Hopefully that's a good sign that he'll be a good big brother and not get too jealous...
