A NEW BABY ON THE WAY.

[Tangnefedd]

Our middle daughter is expecting her second child in August, she has been preparing two year old Quinn for the event with the aid of a delightful book called 'The Mummy Tummy House'. We thought Quinn understood what was going on inside her, he is a bright little lad. When asked what his mummy had in her tummy he said, "Baby Jesus". I think our daughter has quite a bit more explaining to do. How do others cope with this situation?

LOL...he sounds so precious!

Does she have any pictures of her tummy when she was pregnant with Quinn? It helped Emily understand a little better when I showed her pictures of when SHE was still in there.

There's also a book that I bought that's written by the same folks that do "What to Expect When You're Expecting"...it's called "What to Expect When Mommy's Expecting." The language is a little mature (a tad on the scientific side...not too bad, but too much for a 2 year old), but the pictures really helped her understand a little better that there really WAS a baby in there.

Also, we took her to the doctor's office with us each time and let her hear the baby's heartbeat.

Congratulations on your, soon to be, edition

Love, Heather

I think Quinn has seen photos of his mum when she was expecting him. She is quite big this time round, so it is obvious that there is something inside her. I must ask my daughter if Quinn is going to the 20 weeks scan, the week after next, although young children may not be allowed in of course.

My son was too young to understand that I was pregnant but I do want to say CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting for everyone! A new babe is such a blessing!
