Uriah & Thea have been enjoying their new sibling so far. They love to see my moving tummy. This baby is exceptionally active, compared to when I was carrying Uriah & Thea. My midwife said that maybe because the baby is smaller, so the baby has all the room to make those big movements. I mean, seriously, BIG movements. I can feel even his/her gentle arms movements, because the baby has dropped very very low, with his/her shoulder around my pubic bone. I thought the 3rd baby is suppose to be the mellowest of them all. At least that was what I have heard from people. Maybe my case is the opposite... Oh, boy! Better be prepared! :)
Oh, some cute things the kids have said:
When I am working in the kitchen, I don't have a choice but get the tummy rubbed on the counter, because the baby grows mostly in my protruding tummy and no where else. It is hard to cut or do anything sideways.. :) And a few times, Uriah told me sternly: "妈妈，不要poke你的 tummy，你的肚子会pop."
I like to ask Thea & Uriah if the baby is a boy or a girl. When I asked Thea, “baby 是 baby girl 还是 baby boy?” She would say, "Baby girl". But when I ask in Mandarin, “baby是弟弟还是妹妹 ? She would say "弟弟". "妹妹在这边" while pointing to herself (because we have been calling her for a while, referring to the smallest girl in the house). I don't think she knows that she is going to be 姐姐 soon. Well, if we are having another boy, she can keep her nickname "妹妹".. :) and the new baby would be "弟弟". But if we are having another girl, then we have to convince her to be 姐姐. :)
