my son curiously asked,
“Mom, is your tummy big because there’s a baby inside?”
“Yes, sweetheart. As the baby grows, so does Mommy’s belly.”
I gently explained that my belly would keep growing
until the baby was ready to be born.
My son thought for a moment, then tilted his head and asked,
“Then when will the baby in Daddy’s belly come out?”
Hearing this, my husband immediately made up his mind
