Baby Belly
This afternoon Abby told me my tummy “looks like a blowfish.” And then later Jack decided a funny game would be to run around the playroom gleefully yelling, “Whoa! Watch out for the Fat Mommy!”
This is not so good for the self-esteem, ya know? Tim has kindly been reminding me that they’re just kids and love me to death, but still. A blowfish?
However, they are already so welcoming and sweet to this new baby. Abby comes up to my belly several times a day and gives it a little hug or pat and says, “Hello, Baby!” She’ll ask if he’s sleeping and may sing him a little silly song or pretend to tickle him. Very cute. It melts my heart. And both kids like to give my belly a hug and a kiss goodnight, already bonding with their little brother.
Love it, love it.
So I’m blessed, blowfish belly or not.
