Her brother looked up at her in disgust and said to my son, "You are soooo lucky you're getting a brother." My son idolized this boy, and he was utterly thrilled by that proclamation. For the rest of my pregnancy, he would say, "I am SOOOO lucky I'm getting a brother!" His happy words helped too when I endure the rude comments from people about my second being a boy. I have a video I took on the night my water broke, as I waited for DH to get home to drive me to the hospital. My little guy was racing around the house whoopingn and cheering and yelling, "MY BROTHER IS COMING! MY BROTHER IS COMING!" And they adore each other. Enjoy your pregnancy - wishing you a healthy, happy little baby! xoxox
