A Bedtime Chat with Brenna

Last night Brenna and I were chatting as she wound down for the night. She knows that this Friday is the day we find out if the new baby in our family will be a boy or a girl. We've never explained how this will be done and apparently she's been mulling it over in her 4-year-old mind. This is how the conversation went:

Brenna: "Mommy?"
Me: "Yes sweetheart."
Brenna: "Is the doctor going to pull the baby's pants down to see if it has a wiener or girly parts?"
Me: "Are you talking about this Friday when we find out if it's a boy or a girl?"
Brenna: "Yes"
Me: "The baby in my tummy is not wearing clothes right now. The doctor will use a special camera to look inside my tummy to see if the baby has a wiener or girly parts."
Brenna: "Oh, okay."

The next question was "How does the doctor get the baby out?" I'll save that for another post. :)

Polly, You're lucky my grandaughter didn't ask, "But how does the doctor get the camera in you're tummy?"!!!!! DAD
