Cal funnies and other cute things he's said about the baby...

Yes, it's true, I'm pregnant AGAIN...we're done after this one so this should be the last announcement of its kind. Cal is VERY excited about the baby and has already had lots to say about "her" and lots to ask. I'll be calling the baby a SHE until I know otherwise. I need all the good karma I can get to have a girl!! We should be able to find out the gender sometime in April so stay tuned. I'm super paranoid about having twins so I convinced my OB to give me an ultrasound on Tuesday :) If there is more than one in there, you'll all be sure to hear about it. Cal can't wait to see the baby on the "TV". So anyways, without further delay, here are some of the things Cal has been uttering lately:

1. He has decided that the baby will be named "Dinoco" (from the movie Cars). Now if it's a girl then it's "Chick" and if it's a boy it's "Lightening McQueen" but if it's a baby, still "Dinoco". haha...all the names are from Cars.

2. Oh, he's also said that if it's a boy we should call him "Other Ben"...to explain, Cal has two yellow blankets, one we call "yellow" and his favorite one we call "other yellow" - so I guess "Other Ben" would be the favorite!

3. When asked how he feels about mommy having another baby...he said, "No, we don't need another baby, we just gotta get a sister!!!" haha...maybe mommy has been pushing the idea of a sister a little too much?!

4. When asked if we have enough room for the baby and where Ben will sleep when the baby needs the crib, Cal replied, "Mommy, I want Ben to come sleep with me in MY bed". Aaawww...that's sweet. He's since reiterated several times that he'd really like Ben to be in his room. Mommy is NOT down with that idea. We did not buy a four bedroom house for nothing!

5. Cal has asked, "How does the baby get out of your tummy? Does it crawl out?" Yeah, Cal, something like that!

6. Funny story: So a couple months ago we were at Barnes and Nobles where there was a very small baby who was crying. There wasn't really any mention of the baby or anything specific about it. But literally a week or so after this baby siting, totally random, Cal says to me, "Mom, 'member that at B&N that was crying? I like that baby. I want to bring it home!". Totally strange, I know...I guess he's very anxious for our baby to come soon.

PS. Here's an EYE-OPENING FACT for you (well, for me anyways): For 3 1/2 months I can say I have THREE children THREE years old and UNDER!!!! Scary, I know.
