I usually leave the kids with Amy when I make the trek to Newport for my monthly midwife appointments, but on Thursday, after an insane nap debacle and some scheduling conflicts, I decided to bring them along. I hadn't really explained much to Jameson except that we were going to visit mommy's doctor, that she was going to check on our new baby, and that he might get to hear the baby's heartbeat.
Perhaps a little bit more in-depth coverage was in order, because I sensed a certain giddy excitement in the room as I looked over at my darling little boy's face. We were sitting in the exam room waiting for Kathy to come in and he was absolutely beaming. When I asked him what was up, he replied "Mommy, I'm so excited!" When I inquired as to the reason for his sudden exuberance at the midwife's office, he replied "Because your doctor is going to come and open up your tummy and take my new baby out!" Woah. After some careful explanation about how babies grow in their mommy's tummies until they were big enough to come out, etc etc, he was clearly disappointed, but resigned to the fact that we would have to wait until May to meet his new sibling.
Kathy eventually came in, listened to the baby's heartbeat, asked a few quick questions, and sent me on my way. On the way down the steps on the way out, Jameson started to sing "Wooh Wooh Wish Wish...That's the song my new baby sang to me, mom. Her love me."
