It's time to tell Jake & Riley. I can't stand it.
Jake sat there & took it in his stride as we knew Jake would. It's his style...its just him!
Riley, on the other hand...
"Oh Crap!!!...You're joking! It better NOT be a girl!!!"
Something unexpected, something new, something we knew he would have trouble accepting.
Later that night we had tears. Then the questions came....
Will it be in the same hospital? Will it be the same doctor? Will it be the same nurses? Will you have to take your blood out & put needles in your belly? Will I be staying at Grandma's the night before the baby is born? Will Grandma be driving us to the hospital? Will Aunty Leah be in the car too? Will your legs not move for a whole day? etc etc etc
He doesn't react like a 'traditional' child. These are the times where we are reminded of that.
I poured love & understanding all over him tonight. I answered his questions as best I could. He went to sleep feeling calm after giving me big cuddles. How I love this boy of mine.
