As the time for the Stow-away to be born starts to get closer and closer, we are asked somewhat frequently if LM is ready to be a big brother... or if he's excited... or if he's even aware of the fact his life is about to change almost as much as ours is going to again.
On the surface, it would appear that LM hardly really notices any changes in mommy's condition. But, if you were to be a fly on the wall in our house, you'd learn a much different tale. LM is actually pretty stinkin' excited he's going to have a new little brother to spend time playing with.
How do we know this? Well, he takes care not to hurt mommy, but loves to snuggle in mommy's favorite chair. He also, with increasing frequency, kisses the bump, or hugs and snuggles with the bump. Thus far, the Stow-away hasn't kicked or lashed out at him as he's doing this... but it would be totally cute to see his reaction if it did happen.
LM has even started to refer to the bump affectionately as his little brother. It's so precious - I love that he is so aware of the fact he's going to be a big brother soon... and so excited for the responsibilities this new status will hold.
