Well this last weekend we did tell our sons about the baby.   The poem before we typed up on some baby stationery and our oldest son read it.   Erik our youngest heard the poem three times but didn’t get it.  Our oldest got it right away, so he tried to help Erik.   After they read the poem I gave Erik a present to open.  It was a book, called, “I’m a Big Brother”.   Taped to the book was a red heart in which we wrote, “Erik is a Big brother!!  I am so happy you are my big brother!  We will have so much fun together!!”   He still didn’t get it, and so I said Erik who’s big brother are you???   He wasn’t sure, well since we are having a baby you will be the babies big brother!!!  The lightbulb came on and he said “really, your having a baby????”  Yep,  Really???”    Then just as I knew he would say, “How did the baby get there?”    Hmmm…where did my hubbby go now??  No help when you need him!  Erik is 8 years old……


As for Joshua our almost 13 year old.  He was so very excited!!  He was all smiles.   He said he knew already since I was eating so much and puking so much.  LOL!!!   We gave Josh a baby board book called “I’m A baby!”  Attached to it was a note saying, “Josh you will be a wonderful big brother to me.  I look forward to all the books you will read me and all the things you will teach me!!”


It was a wonderful moment for us all………………
