Let the cat out of the bag....

Yesterday was family dinner to celebrate a new baby that was born a few months ago. Well, everyone also soon realized that we're expecting, too! No one could miss that big pregnant belly! There was shock and surprise, but lots of congratulations. Of course many thought we were trying for that elusive little girl which is not true at all.

I also found out during the dinner that another relative is expecting. One month after myself. I would have never guessed. D even spoke with her a little bit and didn't even notice. I look huge and she has nothing, no belly, nothing. I feel really fat now.

Okay, I'm not really upset. It's just amazing how different people are. I know that with my other pregnancies people always said how tiny I was. I guess this time I look normal.

For what it's worth, this was said by L in the middle of the night. I had gone to check on him when I heard him crying from a nightmare.

L: Mommy, after you close the door, can you leave it open?

Z's new favorite word

Z asked for bananas. Well, more accurately, he said banana and pointed to the hanging basket where we usually keep bananas. I told him we don’t have any. He says Buy!

Later at lunch, L comes to me while I sitting at the laptop and asked for more pasta. I say there is no more. Z shouts Buy! from the kitchen.

Conversations from our vacation

We had a poor experience at the beach due to flies and left. Yuck! So D planned on taking the boys to the community pool to make up for the short time at the beach. The following conversation ensues as we were driving back to the vacation house.

D: We're going to the pool.
L: When did you build it?
D: No, we don't have a pool. We're going to that pool. (As we drive past the community pool)
L: (as he looks at the pool) Why is everyone is Grandma's pool?


Another little gem from L

We're driving across the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

L: Do you know there are hotels in the water?
Me: Huh? No there are not.
L: Yes, there are. I see them.
