Conversations with kids

This was from a couple days ago.  They had just woken up from their afternoon nap.....

Them:  "Mommy, did we take a good nap?"
Me:  "You took a VERY good nap."
Them:  "So is the baby here yet?"
Me:  "Umm, no.  Not quite yet.  Your nap wasn't THAT good!!"

Later that same day.....

Me:  "So girls, if this baby is a girl, what should we name her?"
(Addi was already disinterested)
Livi:  "Hmmm.  Hmmm.  Lucy!!"
Me:  "Lucy, huh?"
Livi:  "Yup, Lucy."
Me:  "Well, what should we name the baby if it's a boy?"
Livi:  "Ummmm....no thanks."

They're fairly adamant that this is a baby girl.  Not only do they think it's a girl, but I believe that they WANT a baby girl.  It's going to be an interesing birthday if this baby is actually a boy.  I'm not sure how they'll react.  They've pretty much said from day one that "mommy has a girl in her tummy."  Regardless, they're becoming pretty obsessed with the baby.  Almost every day they tell me that my belly is getting bigger.  Then they ask if the baby is getting bigger.  And after that, they want to know just how big as they stretch their arms out to varying lengths.

Livi wants to change the baby's diapers.  Addi wants to play with the baby.  They both talk about wanting to hold the baby and rock her.  I love their excitement.  I just hope their excitement lasts once the baby is actually here!!
