The Stomach Baby



Here’s a funny story that made N and I laugh.  Last night, I wasn’t feeling too great.  My stomach was in knots from stress and I just needed to lie down for a bit.  Zoe came up, snuggled into me and leaned down to kiss my tummy to make it feel better.  That’s the exact moment my stomach decided to make a noise.  Zoe looked up at me, wide eyed and obviously thinking something very important.

Zoe:  Oh my goodness!  Maybe you’re getting pregnant right now!

Me:  I don’t think that’s what is happening.

How do you know?  Didn’t your tummy hurt when you got pregnant with me?

Not really.  Sweetie, I can’t have more babies.

Are you sure?  Like, did a doctor tell you that?

Yes, a doctor told me that.

Oh man!  I was really hoping for an older brother!  Or I guess a younger brother would be okay.

N and I laughed so hard at her innocence and what she was willing to settle for.
