Expecting

Ana has now told three people in the last week that I am having a baby. Luckily her teacher checked in with me after she got the announcement so that I could tell her that, no, Ana is not going to be a big sister any time soon.

I think I'm going to have to do some more educating of Ana around this topic as she seems to think that pregnancy can happen at any time of the day - even if just that morning it was explained that no, there is no baby in Mommy's belly.

I also have to pay attention to what I'm wearing as it seems to incite some confusion. After telling her Saturday morning that I was not pregnant, I got dressed for the day. It was a little chilly, so I put on a puffy down vest and shoved my hands into the pockets. Ana came into the bathroom in the hopes that I was putting on makeup and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me. Mommy! Is there a baby in there NOW?

Nothing like that to make a girl feel full of confidence. I changed.
