Levi still loves to "listen" to the baby's heartbeat.*
He might also occasionally talk loudly about placentas in public, and he keeps telling me that he wants to be there to catch the baby.** We joke that he will be the first male midwife in Mississippi.
*No, he can't actually hear the baby's heartbeat through a regular stethoscope, but that doesn't stop him from trying.
**His desire to be there when this baby is born is endearing. However, he's a very sensitive little boy, and I am very vocal when giving birth. I think it would terrify him to no end. He will likely be swept off for an outing with Baw-Baw when the time comes.
thats so sweet, he's such a cool kid!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetie! The due will not be attending le birth either. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI hear about kids attending births all the time, and it sounds wonderful in theory. But, I really just cannot imagine having Levi there. I think he would turn into a basket case.
DeleteI'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is "vocal" (read = loud) in childbirth. I've seen several births where women are quiet and it astound me. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe're undecided about if the girls will come along with us for the birth. I think it will depend on time of day/night, how fast/slow the labor is progressing, availability of relatives, etc.
How far along are you now?
