Around my breakfast table this morning....
Steele: Are you gonna get a baby in your tummy?
Me: I hope so!
(keep in mind that this is not the first time we've had this conversation and I'm guessing it won't be the last)
Steele: Is that why you have to get shots?
Me: yup!
Steele: Ohhhh Adia, I hope you never have a baby so you don't have to get shots!
Me: Well, Adia probably won't have to get shots. Hopefully her body will work how God made it to work and she will be able to have babies without taking shots. Mama's body can't grow babies on it's own so that's why I have to take shots.
Adia: Well, you grew Xochi in your tummy.
Me: (shocked at this insight into Adia's little brain)
Steele: No, Chelsea did.
Me: No, Amanda grew Xochi in her tummy.
Adia: (Eyes widening and a smile spreading across her face) MY Amanda??!!
Me: No, a different Amanda.
Me (in my mind): Ohhh boy....
I'm really glad I can trust that God thought I was cut out for this job, because sometimes I find it awfully comical.

Well, honestly, it's none of anyone's business that the baby in your tummy is adopted...

lol.... I love it. :)
Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I said that. ;-) And while technically I guess it really isn't anyone's business... I believe it is a testimony of God's creative plans for us and I want it to bring glory to Him. So that's why I share with people.
Hope there WILL BE a baby growing in your tummy!

They're a mixed wood chip sawdust from Bakerview Nursery. So far, so good.
