Big Sister Announcement
Yes, it's official, Raina will be a big sister in March. We were fearful of sharing this information with her -- we painfully remembered the daily barrage of "beach today?" questions -- but we also worried that a well-meaning non-Whompton adult would spill the beans first. We finally sat her down last week with the news.
We put her on the couch with Sam and me, and she immediately knew something was up because Eric brought out the camera. We told her we had a big surprise, which she could know about now but wouldn't get to have until much later, and then we told her she'd be a big sister of a little baby brother or sister. She immediately picked sister. (We'll see, right??)
She wasn't overly excited or anything; Eric was actually disappointed by her response and kept trying to egg her on so something was video-worthy. In the end, we gave her a picture of the little one in utero, and she placed it in a prominent spot on the refridgerator. Now, she mostly likes saying "you have a baby in your uterus" which is really funny because uterus just doesn't come out correctly with a 3 year old pronunciation. We'll see if she gets more engaged as time gets closer.
