Reactions

I told my kids that I am pregnant today, I got beter reactions out of them than I thought I would. We had just finnished lunch and Jason had taken the boys to the truck, Madalyn and I staied to pay the check and I was asking her what she thought of April (my sister) being pregnant too. She was very umm ok I guess, wile I tried to push it a little she kept going back to her sun burn, LOL. So on the way back I said well I am glad you are happy april is having another baby, because so are we. She stopped and said REALLY IS IT A GIRL!! LOL of course we won't know until the baby is born, silly girl, she was hoping all the way to the truck and even wanted to tell the boys! I let her, she then asked when the baby would be here, umm before christmas, after school starts was my answer, the best one I could really give at this point, she understands some babies, like her brothers are born early and sick and might have to stay at the hospital for a wile.
One qustion she asked I was not surpised by and is the reason I waited until almost 12 weeks to tell them, she asked if we knew if the baby was alive or if it was going to die. Wile some may think a 9 year old should not ask this question, she has good reason, My sister (who is pregnant too) lost a baby before Christmas last year, Madalyn already knew she was pregnant so we told her "aunt April's baby died" what else could I have said. Then Last month my SIL lost a baby, she had told Madalyn and the boys already so I had to tell Madalyn her baby died too. She was upset about all of this and I didn't want to have to tell her mommy's baby didn't make it either. I don;t want her to think babies die all the time ya know. So I told her every thing was ok and I am 3 months and at this point the doctors think the baby will be just fine. and that is the truth.
So as good as can be expected, My Grandmother knows and I am going to her home for her birthday tomorrow it will be the 1st time I have seen her since she knows. I don't think she will say any thing bad, My dad's mom I don't know about, I am going to tell her soon or let my dad tell her, LOL all she said with all the others is ya I knew that already. Haha So I guess we shall see!
