We left the house this morning for our normal five minute ride to school, only a couple of weeks left for Jacob in kindergarten and Stella in the 3yo class. Here was the conversation I had with Jacob (Stella listening intently):
Me: Guess what guys, did you know Holly is having Baby Kolby this morning?
Jacob: So that's his name, Kolby?
Me: Yep. They'll have Kyley and Kolby.
Jacob (very serious): I wonder how they're gonna deal with all that?
Me (laughing): That's a good question Jacob. I'll bet they'll manage.
Jacob: So where's the baby now anyway? Where's it grow really?
Me: Well, a baby grows in a woman's uterus. It's near her stomach which is why a pregnant lady's stomach looks big. The baby isn't in the woman's stomach, it's in her uterus.
Jacob: Momma's never gonna have a baby in her uterus.
Me (again laughing): You're right about that Jacob. Momma gets her babies in Russia or maybe another country next time.
Stella: We're Russians!
Jacob (matter of factly): I bet our little brother is about 7 months old by now. I hope he's doing good.
Me: You're probably pretty close Jacob, and I hope he's doing good too.
And then off he ran to his next to last week of kindergarten.
LOVE it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Can't wait to see what blessed soul joins your family next. Shoot for one that is either 12 months old now, or 3 months in utero :)

Funny, I just found your blog again after years and saw this post- looks like 3 months in utero won out with little D!!
