Sadie and Babies

Tonight while Sadie was getting ready to take a bath she broached the "new baby" topic again:

Sadie: "I want to see the new baby in your tummy."
Me: "Remember the new baby isn't in my tummy anymore."
Sadie: "The new baby in your tummy!"
Me: "The new baby is..."
Sadie: "In heaven with Jesus!"
Me: "Yes."
Sadie: "We can have another baby!"
Me: "Yes."
Sadie: "And the new baby will be Mary!"
Me: "Or..."
Sadie: (a long pause) "Patrick!"

She's awfully determined about this whole family of little sisters thing. She also has taken a sudden interest in the American Girl Baby doll that Nani gave her a couple of Christmas' ago and fell asleep cradling it in her arms.

Then there was the another conversation tonight when Sadie got out a Berenstain Bears book. She immediately turned to the story where Brother Bear outgrows his bed and Sister Bear is born. Towards the end there's a page where the tiny baby Sister Bear bops her brother in the nose with her fist. Sadie examined the page and then pointed to the picture:

Sadie: "What is the baby girl bear doing to her bear?"
Me: "She bopped him on the nose."
Sadie: "That's not nice."
Me: "No it's not. But sometimes little babies don't know that something that they're doing isn't nice." (we've talked about that a lot with Mae Bae) "Like tonight when Mae Bae threw her car and it hit you in the head."
Sadie: "And you told her no!"
Me: "Yup."
Sadie: "And then you said 'Margaret Rosella!'"

Sadie doesn't miss much these days...

  1. ROFL! Amazing how they work things out in their heads. Little Tiger spent a bunch of time on my lap today and then went to bed without much fuss. Totally different from yesterday when it was so stressful that I wanted to escape!

  2. Susi is definitely determined to have a little sister too. Two of them in fact...May God's will be done.

  3. So precious. So very precious.

    How are you holding up? I can't imagine how difficult things might be for you right now. I'm so sorry there is nothing I can do to help but I'll keep praying for you.

  4. Hi Ann- Bedtime was easier for us last night too! It's such a relief when that happens! I try not to get my hopes up before bedtime because you never know... will it be a five minute bedtime, or a two hour bedtime!

    Hi Maria-(I've been meaning to email you!) I cannot wait to see pictures of Susi playing with a little sister (or brother) or two! Praying! And she just keeps getting more beautiful in every picture you post!

    Hi Katherine- I'm doing better than I thought I would. Sadie and Mae make it difficult to be too sad and my attention is usually on them. I can't imagine what it would be like if I didn't have them though... or for women who've had miscarriage after miscarriage or battle IF... There are low moments, but it's gotten a little easier each day. And I feel like we've been so comforted by prayers and God's love these past couple of weeks...

I love comments and I read every single comment that comes in (and I try to respond when the little ones aren't distracting me to the point that it's impossible!). Please show kindness to each other and our family in the comment box. After all, we're all real people on the other side of the screen!
