Salami. Loving it. YOu know what? No matter how it all ended, I'm glad you all broached the subject for the first time w/ you and J and D present. That's so wonderful! She'll feel comfortable about things, it will hit her again and she'll start asking more questions. She's SO lucky to have 3 people to answer her! (Or more, if the little boys and Husband have more to say!) Breathe a big sigh of relief - it's over! Great. Awwww. Salami. Loving it. YOu know what?

I've been craving salami ever since the discussion. I think I'll get some at the store today because BigBrother had a taste of mine at Matt's graduation party and ripped the rest of the piece out of my hand and ran away. HA! Judy; I know, right?

And I think Salami up until the baby is born will work quite well. Except that now I want something to eat. :) For her age, it does sound like it went really well.

He has always known that he grew in C. belly and not mine. But in the last 3 months whenever we talk about it he always says something along the line that he dosen't want to grow in C. tummy, that he wanted to grow in Mommy's tummy. Which I am sure a birth mom would NOT want to hear, but I think it might be age where they are starting to realize what it all means about being in someone's tummy. That they don't want to be different. I know this probably isn't helpfull but just thought I'd share. My (adopted) son Chance is also 3 and half.

I'm sorry talking about the pregnancy was anxiety-provoking and confusing, but it sounds like it really went pretty well. Understanding that there is a baby in your belly is probably all she's capable of right now. Her understanding the nature of her relationship with that baby will come in time. And as far as her insisting that wasn't her in your belly - at this point she most likely can't comprehend that she was ever in ANYONE'S belly! That will come in time as well. I know she seems to understand a lot about the adoption, etc. right now, but keep in mind that at 3 1/2 she's still very young to be processing all of this! I'm sure she'll have lots of questions about the pregnancy/baby/you, and they'll pop out at the most random times. And as she grows and matures over the next few months and years, her understanding will as well. Ok, I had to cut off the last comment because the phone rang.

When I was pregnant with Donovan, Kelsey (then 3) was absolutely insistent that we name him Food. For awhile after he was born, she insisted that his "real" name was Food, and that Donovan was just his nickname. LOL about Salami!
