"I'll have a stister??!"

Gracie(3) "Mommy?" Suddenly looking at my belly that is at her eye level as she sits at the table eating her breakfast "You are getting fat."

Mommy(36) "Yes, Gracie, that isn't fat(well, not most of it, lol) It is a baby."

Gracie "A baby? A baby what?"

Mommy "A baby sister, a real baby. It will come out soon and you can hold her."

Gracie, totally shocked "A stister?! For me?!? I'll have a stister?!"

Mommy "Yup, you're going to be a big stister."

Gracie, now staring at my belly now everytime I walk past her "That is my stister in dere, and I get to hold her and she will look like me and be cute" (say "cute" in a squeaky, high pitched little voice)

Oh that is beautiful. It is all quite odd - the whole "baby in my belly" concept - but little ones accept it without question and join in the joy so easily!

What an example of faith they are to us!!
