With 23 days left until my due date, Travis and I went to our storage unit on Sunday and brought back a ton of baby items that we needed for Britt. As soon as Ava got home and saw everything she started pointing to all of the new items and asking, "What's That?" When I told her it was for her baby brother she would say, "No, MINE!"...and so it begins.
Over the last 32 weeks we have been talking to Ava everyday about the baby. Overall she is not interested in this conversation at all and will ignore this topic when we bring it up. When I ask her where the baby is she will point to my belly but that is as much as she is willing to acknowledge.
The other night I asked her if her brother was a boy or girl and she replied that he was a girl. Whenever I would correct her and say he is a boy, she got really upset and would then insist that he is a girl.
Tonight again she insisted that he is a girl but that his name is boy but also his name is Ava. The nicest thing that she has said is that he can sleep in her bed with her.
Again it is hard for a 27 month old little girl to comprehend what is happening but all I know is that she is about to have her world rocked. I just pray that when she meets her brother for the first time, she does not get upset and start crying. We will soon see how this goes.
