Well Partner and I try to talk and PC talks over us. Well, as everyone knows, meal talk usually ends up in some conversation of bathroom talk or some such thing like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PC, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;interrupting&lt;/span&gt; as usual, asks.."Are you going to have a big rip in your belly?".. I look at her and say, "No honey, why would I have a big rip in my belly?". She looks at me and says "Well, How is the baby going get out of your belly?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, " says Partner, "how &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; the baby getting out of your belly?" Laughing to herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good question, scrambling to think of what a 4 1/2 year can handle and what I should tell her. She is well aware of the V down there and somehow telling her that is where the hole is isn't giving me the happy feeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I say in an informative voice, "Well, there is a canal and the baby goes down the canal and comes out a hole at the other side." Holding my breath for the next question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PC looks at me for a second and then says, "Do you know that Johnny Appleseed's birthday is tomorrow!?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEW... got through that one. Be sure to know that I will be blogging this question again! Without a doubt this is not over &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;LOL&lt;/span&gt;!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3660311123508188409-4584223066815274913?l=presentchildsmusings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presentchildsmusings.blogspot.com/feeds/4584223066815274913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3660311123508188409&amp;postID=4584223066815274913' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3660311123508188409/posts/default/4584223066815274913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3660311123508188409/posts/default/4584223066815274913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presentchildsmusings.blogspot.com/2008/09/12w5d-or-how-is-baby-going-to-come-out.html' title='12w5d or How is the Baby Going to Come Out?'/><author><name>FutureMumto2</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03147801998781863974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660311123508188409.post-1815212609176562062</id><published>2008-09-23T11:45:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-26T13:48:29.649-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='belly'/><title type='text'>12w3d or Am I rounder?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;As I got dressed this morning I look down to my belly. Now... I have some extra padding down there already and up to now I have not looked at all like someone that has a baby in their belly. But for some reason... I saw something protruding more than usual. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So we are all in the kitchen getting ready to move it on out and I make a comment to my partner, "Do I look rounder to you?" I give her a side view, front view and any other view to convince her. She is like, "I don't know, not really?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So dear Present Child (PC) says... in a matter of fact voice... "That is because the baby is growing", as she rubs my belly. We have had many "the baby is as tall as your finger" talks. I said... "No, not yet honey, the baby wouldn't be that big yet!!" We all move on and get the rest of our stuff together and get ready to leave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Partner is ready to head out and as PC and I head to the door she said to me "Mum, you are looking rounder today"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;And partner just looked at me and said... "You started it!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3660311123508188409-1815212609176562062?l=presentchildsmusings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presentchildsmusings.blogspot.com/feeds/1815212609176562062/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3660311123508188409&amp;postID=1815212609176562062' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3660311123508188409/posts/default/1815212609176562062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3660311123508188409/posts/default/1815212609176562062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presentchildsmusings.blogspot.com/2008/09/12w3days-or-am-i-rounder.html' title='12w3d or Am I rounder?'/><author><name>FutureMumto2</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03147801998781863974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
