Big Brother is Watching You



1
"That belly is gettin' pretty big!" Westley announces every time he sees me.

This morning it was, "That's one big belly! It's stickin' outta your clothes!" (That's what I get for trying to rock a non-maternity pajama top.)

As I make myself a cup of tea, he asks, "How's that baby doin'?"

When he hugs me: "That was a present for you and the baby."

And at bedtime, he hugs me good-night and then leans over my lap and whispers into my bellybutton, "Good-night, baby. Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite."

Westley has been watching me for signs of bumpiness since we told him I was pregnant at eight weeks. My current, obviously-pregnant state is endlessly amusing to him.

Standing in line at Trader Joe's yesterday, he looked me squarely in the midsection and proclaimed, loudly, "Wow! That belly is huge!" The woman next to us nearly killed herself trying to stifle a laugh.

"Just you wait," I told him. "It's only going to get bigger."

I don't think he really believes me. But he's having fun watching.

I love how interested he is in the baby and your pregnancy. And how much he wanted a sister, and is getting one.

Luckiest sister ever.

It's really sweet how invested in this pregnancy he is. She's going to have one protective older brother for sure!

Ha, this cracks me up and the pictures are perfect. He's definitely keeping an eye on the both of you!

The waiting is so tough! I finally printed out a calendar with the last 4 months all one sheet so that we could cross out the days so Tank could start to get an idea of how long it would take. It helped at least 70% :)
