My lil sister had a baby. Before I tell anymore of the story, let's all take a moment to gush over this little piece of perfection The Lord blessed us with ...
Here's how the discussion of babies and babies getting out of tummies went down at the Crazy Ship:
MB "Mom, when the baby comes out, does Aunt E have to take her pants down? Can I watch or is it ninnappropriate?" (clearly he knows something)
Zoom, in his haughty big brotherly wisdom way, "NO MB, it's not like she's going to POOP the baby out! Duh!"
The Eldest "Ya, that baby comes out of her BELLY!" (she's nine. we've had basic sex ed discussions and I thought we were squared away on where babies come from. clearly not)
As the discussion progressed over the course of the day, it was becoming clear that MB has been exposed to this thing called child birth and is privy to way more details than my other four sheltered young. I love and hate these moments when I get pieces to this puzzle that is his life and childhood before us (sigh)
And now onto the new mom ... isn't she beautiful.
Doc said we're going to have a baby. Mom went to hospital at 6:00 p.m., worked hard all night and pooped out this perfect baby at 8:42 a.m.
8 lbs 4 ounces of pure perfection. The end.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! There's nothing quite like teeny-tiny, screaming bundles of babe that almost think you need another one!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, I would totally stick with, yes, she's pooping it out!
Congrats to the Captain's sister and family!
Congrats on the sublimely beautiful new family member. I have to often remind myself to step away from "crazy stupid" urges and admire them in others hehehe
ReplyDeleteah, she is gorgeous. and the 'pooping the baby out' myth must be widespread, 'cause i promise you we've had almost the exact same discussion here. next time i'm going with leah ann's advice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! (and yay 4 KU) I really thought my 8 yr. old son would have questions about my recent pregnancy and childbirth, and I was totally prepared to answer some, but nope. Zero curiosity. Weird.
ReplyDeleteAhh, I love this. Aunt E is beautiful and I'm shocked she allowed you to take that pic sans makeup :) I love that girl!
ReplyDeletePerhaps a couple overnights with this new perfect baby will shake you out of your crazy stupid thoughts. You know, we are technically now of "advanced maternal age." Just sayin...
Congrats on this little beauty!
Thanks! Everyone was taking pictures so I just let it happen, Shiloh. Then I picked the one of me I hated least and allowed that one :) And Shonda already has plans for us to come up this weekend...:) she wastes no time :)
DeleteYes, I waste no time! And I'm sure some crazy sleepless overnights would slap me back into sanity pronto!
DeleteThis weekend? Woo hoo!!! :)
DeleteHey Shiloh - you can take your "advanced maternal age" and shove it ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was just stating the facts ma'am. It wasn't a challenge...please don't interpret it as a challenge!!!
DeleteHa ha. Shiloh, you know me too well.
DeleteAnd to be honest, my first thought was "well, if everyone says I shouldn't do this, then maybe I should." But then a nanosecond later, sanity kicked back in.
