A couple days ago while driving in the car:
Mckinlay: "Is your baby gonna be here soon Mama!?"
Me: "Yeah. She'll be here in a few days."
Mckinlay: "Oh fun!" Thinks for a sec... "Is she just gonna pop right out?"
Me: "Kind of."
Mckinlay: Thinks again... "Oh, is the Dr. gonna squeeze her and then she'll pop right out!?"
Me: "Ahhh yup. Just like that honey."
If only it were that simple.
She is super excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She has me tell her about what we do for the holidays and about the decorations and what we eat {a true Hallstrom or what?} all the time. Yesterday I explained to her about Santa Clause and how he comes down the chimney at night while we are sleeping and brings us presents. She was pretty thrilled about it.
This morning she woke up just as Ty was about to leave for work and you could hear him rattling around down stairs. She came bounding into my dark bedroom and said:
"Mommy! Santa Clause is here! I can Hear him!"
We sure love this gal and think she's gonna make a great big sister.
you mean it isn't that easy to give birth? what have i done! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, if only! Megs, she is SO beautiful! I love reading about all her cuteness via your blog. She is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love the view from your tummy. Who is the happiest mom on the planet? Your Mom! She is all smiles as she counts down :) Good luck with everything, we'll keep you in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You are one lucky mama. Good luck... McKinlay has no idea what is in store for her.
ReplyDeleteHello - when did Mckinlay grow up? And grow all that long hair! How I miss you guys! I'm excited for the "pop" - you are a wonderful strong woman with lots of support, and I know things will go well with you and your littlest one!
ReplyDeleteAre you having a baby or a "ZIT"?! Mckinlay definitely looks like a "big sister"! She is such an adorable "ham"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little girl she is! I fully support the popping-out method!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I love all the fall colors!!
She is just adorable! I am sure she is excited for her new baby sis! Is she here yet? can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love that she is already hearing Santa Claus. And yes, I wish having babies were that simple, too. I'll be sending good vibes your way when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dolly Kinners is. Children's thoughts are amazing - McKinlay is certainly a little thinker. She'll be a wonderful big sister. I can hardly wait to hear what she has to say once Eliza is here.
ReplyDeleteGive our girl a squench from Grandma :).
This little girl cracks me up
ReplyDeleteShe is going to be such a fun big sister!
