oops

brynn will be a big sister the middle of october, which really isn't that far away. to prep for the huge change that will take place in our home, i have been telling her all about the cool things she gets to do/help me with once the baby arrives. she is so excited and is always asking me questions and telling me what she will do once her baby sister gets her. i'm really happy that she's understanding and realizing (well, as much as she can at the moment) how much will change. i know she will be a great help! i'm happy that we waited a little longer to get pregnant this time around as the age gap (3 years, 3 months) for us, will work well as brynn is pretty independent and loves to assist me with things.

that being said, brynn is also retaining information/words a little too well. i let her look through one of my fit pregnancy magazines (which by the way, all those models in there?! i'm not convinced that they're really pregnant. no one looks that good knocked up!) a few days ago and she noticed a few articles in it with babies nursing from their mom's. i saw the puzzled expression on her face, so i took this opportunity to teach her a little about whats to come. i told her that that's how some mommies feed their babies food and it was totally normal. i then began to explain to her thats why my body is changing (she is ALWAYS commenting on my "twins") to get ready for the baby. i then told her that mommies special "pillows" make milk just for baby and that this was not scary at all. so since that night, she is always poking at them (i've tried to hide them, honestly i have) and wanting to see the milk. nice. its especially fun to deal with this situation in public places. nothing like being groped by your toddler in a walmart while she is yelling "mommies BOOBIES! mommies BOOBIES make milk!"

ahhh, i love my little brynn. i think i will stay home for the next few months to avoid any more embarrassment.
