Well, finally, it was getting to hard to keep the "new baby" secret from the kids. We have been holding off as long as possible, since it would just be very hard to go through the "how many more night-nights until the baby" constantly for 6 mos.
We sat them down on the couch, on either side of J. Asked them - "guys, why do you think mommy's tummy is getting bigger?"
C: "I think she ate too many cupcakes" (today is Daddy's bday, so they made cupcakes)
A: "I dunno..." (smiling as if she knew something, but wouldn't say it)
We finally told them - we're gonna have a baby boy. A little brother for you guys!!
They were happy... and wondered all about how the baby is gonna come out of mom's "nina" ...
