Here are the kids with Suzie, the nurse at our midwife's office. So far, the kids have been to the midwife with me at least a dozen times. They have their own little set-up in the room (Kieran ducks behind the table and listens to harry potter, Nani colors on the chair. Nani will quickly share that "Cheri is the first person who touched me with her hands."This whole process has been such a gift to share as a family. The kids get to see the whole process. Nani always helps Cheri roll up her measuring tape and squeeze the "belly jelly" on my belly to hear Lulu's heartbeat. They were curious about why I had to pee in a cup each time. Suzie promptly took them behind the scenes to see the whole process of urinalysis. Thrilling! Ha ha.
They sat with us as we saw Lulu come up on the screen for the first time (before we knew she was Lulu and most of us thought she was Johnny Donny). When the ultrasound tech said "It's a girl" -- Kieran responded "How does she know it's a girl?" I said "Well, how do you know you're a boy and Nani's a girl?" Nani didn't pause a beat before replying "Because boys have short hair and they're grumpy."
We'll have even more adventures as time goes on. More ultrasounds, non-stress tests twice a week starting in three weeks, and who knows how the birth process will unfold.
Lulu started her homeschooling journey in the womb!
