EJ is convinced we are getting a little brother soon. She brought this picture (above) home from Primary today. It is her family tree. See the one named "Bear"? That is apparently her baby brother and his name is Bear. (DMP and I have joked that we should have a boy and name it Bear after Bear Grylls of Man v. Wild)It seemed to start a couple of months ago. We were in the freezer aisle of Wal-Mart and she blurted "I want one of those". I was scanning the frozen potato products and said "What honey- popsicles?".
"No, one of those" she said, pointing to a young Mom with a little baby boy. "Oh" I said, "A baby?" " Yep" she said, "a baby brother."
I told her we'd go to baby section and see if we could find one that we could buy...
After our neice Kira announced her pregnancy, we started getting the baby stuff out for her. EJ became convinced it was for her baby brother. She has very seriously been telling Birdy for weeks that she shouldn't play with the bouncy, clothes or anything else that is "baby brother's".
Birdy has gotten in on the act- patting my tummy and saying "you got a baby in there". I most definately don't but I'm feeling like there is a campaign on the part of my girls to have a sibling. I'm afraid they've started telling family, people in the ward and whatnot that they are having a baby brother.
So to quote Anna Paquin denying recent pregnancy rumors "My uterus is really flattered by all this attention..." but I'm afraid there is no occupant. Yet.
