How Would You Answer This Q?

At the busy pizza place last night, Hayden looked at me sweetly and said in a very loud voice, 'Mommy - how is the baby going to get out?'. I swear the entire place stopped to hear my answer. Will she say 'it'? Is this a prelude to 'where do babies come from' question? Is she going to say, 'well son, I push and push and squeeze a baby out of my vagina!?'. Amy was there with me, who stopped mid-bite... What will Ali say?

To also put this in perspective - Hayden is 3. This morning he thought I was a fry-cook at Google and didn't remember 'Chris Young' is his dad, so I have to handle this delicately. I took a breath, did the ol' repeat the question trick so I can think of the answer, and said "Daddy will bring the baby home from the hospital'. He was satisfied. Crisis averted.

Two Months to Go!

Crazy-time. Two months left until this new baby arrives. I think it's beginning to sink in that a new child will be living with us. One that I made - all by myself - for the past several months. Nuts!

Maybe if we had a room or a house to put this new kid it would seem more real. Or maybe if I had time to slow down and reflect it would sink in. Right now it all just seems unreal. Oh and what will we name the kid if its a boy? We're going to have a nameless child! Gotta figure this out - stat.

The Crusty Crab & Google.

It just occurred to Hayden that Spongebob Squarepants works at The Crusty Crab, where food is served. Then he said, Mommy, you work at Google, where there is food too. He think that I have the same job as Spongebob Squarepants - a fry cook! ahhhhhhh. I can't wait till he's older and can tease him about this.
