Lately

Emmy just keeps getting more and more talkative. Today we had the following conversation:

Em: Mommy, you still have that baby in your tummy?
Me: Yep, she's still there.
Em: You sure its just one baby, or two? Huh?
Me: It's just one.
Em: Oh, you sure?
Me: I'm sure.
Em: Does the baby cost fifty dollars, hmm?
Me: (long pause) Ummm, no the baby is ours.
Em: Oh. Good.

During the long pause I was thinking "babies really cost much more than fifty dollars, but Emmy won't understand that. Should I tell her we have to pay the doctor to deliver the baby? No, she might grow up thinking you really buy babies. Hmmm, reality or lie? I guess its the truth that she's ours, yeah, that's what I'll tell her."

Seriously, where does she get this stuff. Fifty dollars? Don't know where that figure came from.

The pregnancy is not the best for this time of year. I am grateful we have a spell of double digits in the middle of June. That really is helping. And I'm double grateful that I caught the flu during that spell of double digits. Yeah, the flu at this stage of pregnancy is not so much fun. I couldn't even keep down water. All I kept thinking is "I hope this dehydration doesn't throw me into labor cause my OB is out of the country!" Luckily all is well and thanks to a great priesthood blessing by my hubby, I had just the 24 hour type of flu. Glad that is over!!!

Otherwise, I am just working and sleeping pretty much. Dan has been great, staying home with Emmy for the few hours I'm at summer camp, and doing the dishes after dinner! It is great to have a helpful husband when I'm this busy, this pregnant, and therefore this useless. :)
