The Insider

I had a doctor's appointment today and all seems to be well with the wee one.  The girls have never been to an appointment with me, however, I'm considering bringing them later on so that they can hear the heartbeat...so tonight we had this conversation:

Me:  Mommy needs to take you to my doctor's appointment so that you can hear our baby's heart beating and hear it moving around.

Emma:  Inside your tummy?  How can we hear it?

Me:  Yeah.  The doctor will put a little machine on mommy's tummy and we'll be able to hear it.

Madelyn:  We'll hear his heart and hear it talking to us?

Chad:  Yeah.  It's going to say, "Hey, let me out of here.  Pleeeeaassseee let me out.  I wanna get outta here.  Pleeeeeeease.  Maddie, give me your blankie....I want your thumb...give me your thumb....I want that thumb!"

She laughed but the look on her face said, "You must be crazy.  You ain't gettin' my blankie or my thumb."
