Natalie is very excited for the arrival of baby boy. She had her leg across my stomach on Saturday morning and baby boy moved. She was so excited. She then laid her head on my belly and again, baby boy moved tickling her on the cheek. She was beyond herself. She started saying, "Baby boy is going to be here soon. He's coming after Valentine's Day, daddy. And that's soon." We reminded her that baby boy is sick. "I know. He has a boo-boo on his heart." Right, so he won't come home from the hospital right way. "I know. I know." she said. Maggie's mommy is having a baby right around the same time we are, but Maggie's baby will come home. "What?" The expression on her face said it all. "Why is her baby coming home and mine isn't?" Ours is sick, honey. He'll have to stay where the doctors can help him. "Did me and Ainsley come home?" Yes, you were healthy. "Well why are some babies healthy and some sick?" I don't sweetie, that's just the way it is.
