Thoughts on babies

So, yes, we're having another one. We're pretty excited about the new arrival in January. I'm 23 weeks now and the kids have adjusted well to the idea. We've covered some of the basic questions like how the baby got inside mommy, when the baby is going to come and they've even adjusted to my food needs. This is pretty typical:

Me: Kids, I'm not feeling very well. I need to take a little rest and get something to eat.
Noah: Mommy you should go make yourself some food so that you don't spit up. You want Bigs? (Bigs is his beloved blanked which is indeed very large).

Or, this charming little tidbit that has happened more than once:
Noah (staring intently at my backside): Momma, why is your bottom so big?
Me: (smiles and says nothing)

The other day Matt's mom was driving the kids around and the conversation went something like this:
Ella: I want a baby 'gurl'.
Noah: I want a baby boy.
Nana: God will give your family what is best for your family. The doctor might even be able to know if the baby is a boy or girl. Mommy and Daddy are going to go to the doctor and he is going to take a picture of the baby.
Ella (completely incredulous): But how is the doctor going to get inside mommy? (And even more concerned) And how is he going to get out?!?

And lastly, some visuals because some have asked I'm as big as I was last time around.
