Hearing Voices

Monkey3 knows the siblings.

Monkey1 and Monkey2 came noisily into mom and dad's bed the other morning, and with their laughing and talking came a terrific ruckus inside me. BIG movements. The Monkeys settled down for some relatively quiet snuggling for a few minutes, and the baby quieted down too. Until the older two decided it was time to get up, at which point they started talking and laughing again. And the baby started roiling around inside me again. The changing shape of my belly, and the noisy guess work that accompanied it -- "I feel a leg," "That's a knee," "Is the baby going to come out your belly button?" -- just caused more commotion.

I booted the Monkeys out of the bed and groaned.

This baby is going to be doing a lot of chasing, trying to keep up.
