We're pretty sure she knows something is about to change. We've tried to give her subtle clues -- we moved her into a new room; set up her crib in her old room; bought her a new (used, but new for her) dresser and put her old dresser in the now nursery; started calling the nursery the baby's room; told her that the baby in Mommy's belly will be living in the room next to her and that she soon with have a new baby brother. Yeah, we think she believes something is about to change.
The due date is March 12th. Today is the eighth. We were ready yesterday for the baby to come any time. Now we're not so sure.
Tahlia is sick. Snot running freely from her nose sick. Bubbles billowing from her nostrils sick. She's sick, and not supposed to be.
Although, when asked, she'll tell you she's excited for her baby brother to come, maybe she really isn't. Maybe this is a last ditch effort on her part to try to stop the whole thing from happening. Maybe she thinks if she can continue to siphon fluid from her body and drain it out of her nose in a congealed mucus, we won't rush to labor and delivery.
Lauren's willing the baby to stay in a little longer so that Tahlia won't be as sick.
Maybe Tahlia's on to something.
