My daughter is two and constantly coming up with cute stuff, but nothing really baby related since she doesn't quite "get it." However we tell her, "mommy has your baby sister in her belly and we get to meet her this summer!" And she usually points and my tummy occasionally during the day and says, "baby in there????"
It melts my heart even if she doesn't quite understand. I have such an awesome close relationship with my sister's and I'm so excited my daughter will have a sister.
My daughter Is 11 and came to my last sono when the doctor said "it looks like a girl, you see these 3 lines like a hamburger". Why did the doctor say that?! My daughter has been cracking up telling all her friends I'm having a hamburger!!!! She's like "Ma you wanted a hot dog but you're having a hamburger"...I was cracking up with her.
DS will be 2 in June. At my 9 week appointment the doctor did a quick ultrasound and he insisted she check his baby, too. He had me put him on the table and he pulled up his shirt so she could check on his baby. He also regularly asks where baby Eli is and kisses my belly telling baby good morning and I love you.
DS is 4 and every morning when he wakes up he asks me when his baby brother is coming. A few of the other things he's said:
1. is the baby coming out of your mouth 2. how much bigger is your belly going to get 3. can I see the baby through your belly button 4. can the baby come out through your belly button 5. can I go back in your belly and play with my baby brother
So I dont have kids (FTM) but I was on a day care tour yesterday, and 3 kids all pointed at my belly and said baby! It was the sweetest thing. Apparently all those kids had just become big brothers/sisters, and so it really stuck out to them. I am looking forward to it getting warm enough out that I dont have to wear a coat, so more people, but really the kids can see the belly, I love their sweet innocent comments!

Mommy to a super cute havanesse puppy and baby boy!
DH told DD (2.5) that I have a baby in my belly. Immediately, and very seriously, she asked "mama ate a baby?" and we chuckled and said not quite, but she proceeded to hide all of her dolls. Later that night, when I was rocking her to sleep, she said "mommy please don't eat me, too". I about died (tried not to laugh), but promised I wouldn't, and assured her that I hadn't eaten a baby. I guess this will all just be real when there is an actual, physical baby present. Until then, no more baby-in-belly discussions!!!
My niece is 6, and my sister still had a bunch of her baby clothes so she is sending them to me. My niece decided she doesn't want me to have her old clothes, because she likes them and wants to wear them.
We tried explaining they were too small for her, her response: 'I go to the gym to get small like daddy, but not like mommy, mommy only goes to spa.' Don't think she knows what spa is but, I had to try real hard not to laugh.
TW: 1 infant loss 8/17: Our daughter was born 8/18: Our daughter kicked open heart surgery ass 2/19: We lost our son to Prader-Willi/Paradoxical Vocal Cord/ Noonans at 6wks old 4/26/2020: EDD for baby #3!!!
Tonight DS comes up behind me and gives me a huge hug. He says, "I love you, mommy." I said, "I love you too, buddy!" Then he says, "and I love your belly and your neck!".
My little one isn't talking yet, but I babysit my 3 year old niece a lot. The other day we had quite the conversation. Ky: aunt koda you have a baby in your belly Me: i do Ky: what kind of baby is in your belly? Me: we don't know yet ky we find out next week, what do you think it is? Ky: i think it has a vagina. My jaw dropped and i didn't even know what to say.
We're Team Green again, but my 4.5 year old insists that we're having a boy. He gets mad if anyone suggests that it might be a girl. Since we already have 2 boys, we get a lot of comments about how maybe we'll have a girl this time. When I asked him why he thinks the baby is a boy, he said he saw the pictures of the baby (sono) and it didn't have hair or a ponytail so it has to be a boy. It was a perfectly logical explanation. He cracks me up.
Re: Funny stuff your kid has said...
To which my son (8) replied, "Tenley! You know God can change that, right? Like, if it's sticking out, He can just flatten it and make it a boy!"
It melts my heart even if she doesn't quite understand. I have such an awesome close relationship with my sister's and I'm so excited my daughter will have a sister.
1. is the baby coming out of your mouth
2. how much bigger is your belly going to get
3. can I see the baby through your belly button
4. can the baby come out through your belly button
