Rowan Tree and Red Thread

Last night we took the plunge and informed Rowan that Sam was pregnant. Well, we told her that 'Mama has a tiny baby growing inside her'. There was a brief moment when a look of confused horror passed over Rowan's face, but then she seemed to warm to the idea. She said 'does that mean I'm going to have a baby sister?' Well sort of, we explained, or a baby brother. 'I like boys', she informed us. Just like your mother, I thought (ducks incoming comments from sammywol).

Anyway, Rowan seemed unfazed by the news and was definitely happy to know that sammywol's recent fatigue and illness was all because of the pregnancy and nothing more serious. I think she was getting worried about her mother's continued state of 'blah'.

So now I'm waiting for Rowan to start asking when the baby is coming. 'Is it here yet?'
