34 Weeks

Me and my two (three!) babies on our way to Mass this morning

I'll be 34 weeks along tomorrow, so two more weeks to go before the all-clear to have a home birth. There have been some cute baby moments with the children:

* John asked: "What does the new baby play with in there, if he doesn't have any toys?"

* Mary (27 months) has just started to clue in to the new baby in Mama's belly. At my last midwifery appointment, I was lying down, my belly being examined, and Mary knelt beside me, pushing and palpating my belly exactly like the midwife. Then she said, "I going to pop the baby out!" And she repeatedly pretended to "pop" the baby out through my belly button, with the sound effect 'pop!' followed by giggles. Often now, she pats my belly and asks about the new baby.

  3. Elaine: Yes! Good eye. Mary finally (almost) fits the April Cornell petticoat I bought her almost a year ago.
