Actual Conversation...days ago

I was working in the BIG garden at the Jensens' house the day after announcing to my children that they were going to have a new sibling. Arami was standing at the end of the row talking to Katie, a relative of the Jensens who is barely 5.

Arami - My mom is gonna get pregnant soon.
Me - Actually Ara, I am pregnant now.
Arami - No..I mean that you are going to have a baby in your tummy.
Me - I know baby, There is a baby in there now.
Arami - NOW!!!!
Me - Yep

(she then walks over to me, while her friend Katy watches, and starts to professionally feel around my tummy looking for feet.)

Me - Arami, that baby is way too small for us to be able to feel yet, we have to wai a little longer.
Arami - Well, Sister Lays' baby's feet are over here.
Me - Cool.

(Arami then walks away, and Katy comes over to start her conversation)

Katy - So...you probaby have to go to the doctor now to get cut.
Me - I don't think so.
Katy - Well, how is the baby going to get out.
Me - Well, some babies come out a different way than being cut out.
Katy - HOW?
Me - (pensively thinking....)well, they come out of the birth canal.
Katy - Ohhhhh...the birth canal. Do snails have a birth canal?
Me - hmm, I don't think so.
Katy - Oh...Now I know why you are so fat, it is because you are pregnant.
Me - (laughing)
Katy - So...when you have the baby you aren't going to be fat anymore.
Me - I don't think it will work like that for me.

Katy then went on to explain to me that in order to lose weight, I needed a special drink mix, and a special blender that makes loud noises.

Sounds remeniscant of a conversation I had a couple of years ago with Maira trying to convince me of a special juicer and how it would save my life!

News!!

Ok!!! My understanding is that this isn't going to be breaking news for many people, but maybe....

Dave and I are expecting another member to our little (he he) family. In early March ( I think) we will be adding his 3rd, my 4th, our 5th. Did you follow that?

Party Time

Becky Jensen and I are co-hosting a HERITAGE MAKERS party at my house on Thursday the 30th at 7pm. If you haven't seen them before, it is really cool. Come for the products, the food or the friends.

WE WILL HAVE FUN!
