We taught Ezra weeks ago to say “baby!” when asked “what’s in mama’s belly,” but in recent days, he’s become obsessed with my belly. He demands to see the baby, pulling my shirt up and my maternity pants down. He pats, then hits, then kisses, then hugs my belly. I tell him that there’s a baby hidden inside, but that she’ll be coming out soon to meet him. He has no idea what I’m talking about, but I like to pretend that he does.
He also loves reading our favorite big brother book over and over again. On the first page it says, “Someone new is at our house — do you know who it is?” and without fail when I ask him who it is as I turn the page, he yells “baby!” with great excitement. He also points at babies in strollers on the street and loves peeking at the new babies he’s met recently. I know that our real baby, who will cry and take mama’s attention will be much less compelling for him than these other babies, who can be closed back into a book or wheeled back to their own houses, but I’ll take all the encouragement I can get.

— Feb 2 / 09:39I love this picture! And I love that you two sort of match! The discussion of a second baby has come and gone and come and gone here in this house. I often wonder if we decided on a second, how Jackson would be, what he would understand, etc. It’s interesting to watch unfold, I am sure!
I don’t think I ever commented after my sister and I ran into you guys at the Renegade Holiday thing! Such a small world! Love it! Sending good thoughts for a healthy and swift delivery!

Audra, it was great fun to get to meet you! I’m so glad you said hi.
Drew, that idea is FANTASTIC.

— Feb 28 / 22:28awe Sarah, you look beautiful in this picture and Ezra looks quite the determined explorer, trying to get to the bottom of his curiosities, or of your pants?! And great idea on getting him the “Big Brother” book, I would hope that I would have the same logic when I become a parent…or that these great reads are still available, maybe not on a hard cover or paper back book but on ebooks?? with how much technology is evolving and how fast it is being integrated into our daily lives (and not just of adults but of children’s lives too), who knows what kind of apparatus I will be dealing with when it comes to my children! haha
