Na Night Baby!

I have tried to prepare Merrill a bit for his new sibling. He has just naturally gotten to the stage of wanting to take care of and take turns with his "friends" (stuffed animals). It is really cute.

I was stunned tonight. It has been a few weeks since I have told him about the baby in my tummy, but tonight we were singing his bedtime songs and he leaned his head down, ear on my belly, and after a minute of quiet he looked up at me and said, "BABY!" It was so wonderful! He was so sweet and for the next few minutes he wouldn't stop saying, "Baby" and, "AHHH," patting it and after me asking he even leaned down and kissed my belly. After prayers I put him in his bed, and he looked up at me and with the sweetest smile said, "Na Night Baby!"

It just broke my heart with how sweet my little boy is!

Now that is cute!! It was such a bittersweet thing when I was pregnant with Trent. Sweet because I was so excited to have another baby, but a little bitter because I didn't know how Ashlyn would react and I was so worried about how it would affect her. Good luck to Merrill! I am sure he will be an awesome big brother to his little sister - that is my official prediction :o)
