So, I found out that my sister is having a baby. And upon telling Maddy this she was confused. We've been telling her that once she is married she can have babies. Maddy knows that her aunt is not married and was wondering how she got pregnant. So I told her that in order to get pregnant you have to have sex. Yes, I tried to avert the conversation. We talked about choices and make wise ones and not so wise ones. But alas, my smart daughter's curiosity was not assuaged with these incomplete answers, or maybe I just figure she should know because I'm not about to lie to her about something she will figure out soon enough. Anyway, I digress. So yes I said the three letter "s" word to my daughter and she replies back to me, "I don't remember you sexing to have Bekah. I just remember you taking medicine." To which I had to stifle a laugh. But right now at this moment, I am laughing freely. :)
When I was preggo with Bekah, my girls remember me every morning bending over the sink. They also remember me taking my prenatal vitamin. Most of the time I would take my anti nausea med with my prenatal. They once asked why I was taking meds and I told them because I'm having a baby and this helps the baby to grow in mommy's tummy and the other makes mommy feel better. So from that they gathered I was taking medication to have a baby. I do remember Maddy one day after asking her if she want a brother or a sister, to which she said, "Brother, and if you don't have a boy you can take more medicine and get a girl."
And to Deanna, I thank you, for giving me this opportunity to talk to my daughter about sex, choices and how a baby comes to be.
That stinking tooth finally fell out. She has a cute pink treasure chest this time! I can't believe she's going to be 7 this Thursday. Where oh where is the time going?
