Yesterday Irina came into the bedroom where I was and said, all exasperated, "Mommy, is you baby coming now?"
Irina is probably the most excited about this coming sibling. She has watched birth videos on youtube with me and loved that, asking to watch more as soon as the one we are watching is finished. She asks all the time about when the baby is going to come. She says she has a baby is her belly too.
Saren loves to feel the baby kick. Harper is excited too, but I think she's a little bit freaked out about the whole birth aspect.

I reread Irina's birth story recently and it seems like it was a little hard on Harper, like maybe she felt a little left out or abandoned because of Irina coming so quickly. Maybe she is feeling a little residual hurt/scared from that?
Or maybe I am reading waaaaaay too much into it.
Well, I think it has more to do with her empathetic nature. Seeing me in pain kind of freaked her out and whenever we watch the videos of birth, she says she doesn't like it. She has also said recently that she doesn't want to have children herself and I think it is all down to the fear of the event itself. She does have a very low tolerance for pain, both her own and other people's.
I concur with Irina. I keep forgetting to ask if you've had the baby yet.
