Why Mom?

Monday morning I had a doctors appointment. Since I knew it would be a long wait I got a friend to watch my kids for me. When Barry asked where I was going I told him I was going to have the doctor check on Jacob and make sure he was growing ok. He seemed pretty excited about it and was anxious for me to go.

I am now on my weekly appointments and have 3 weeks and 5 days left...but who is counting. Oh wait, I am and I am so excited to be done with this pregnancy. Good pregnancy, even seemed to go pretty quick, but my body is soooo done being pregnant. I want to go running... in a major way.

So, after I was done at the doc, I went back to get Barry and Tat. We hung out with my friend and her kids for a little bit and then headed home. On the way home this is how the conversation went:

Barry: Oh wait mom, did you check jacob today?
Me: Yep, he is growing good.
Barry: Well, I don't see him (looking around the van)
Me: Oh, well he is still in my tummy for another 4 weeks.
Barry: 4 WEEKS... Mom go back to the doctor and get jacob out.
Me: I can't bud, we have to wait for him to get big enough and strong enough to come out.
Barry: Mom, how BIG is Jacob going to be?
Me: just little, like Bel's baby sister.
Barry: What? (crying begins) I don't want Jacob anymore.

Poor little buddy, must have thought we were getting him a live in friend. Maybe it doesn't help that I told him he would get to share a bunk bed with Jacob one day... well, it's not a lie, he will get to share with him in like 3 years!!!!
