That time Brendan told me about how he was born

Recently my best friend got the news that she would be spending the remaining 5-6 weeks of her pregnancy on modified bed rest.  We said a little prayer for her and baby boy and then Brendan started with the questions...

Question 1
Brendan "Why does she have to rest mommy?"

Me "Because she needs to stay healthy for the baby."

Question 2
Brendan "Why doesn't he just come out of her belly now mommy"

Me "Because he has to grow and get bigger.  It is a little too soon for him to be born."

Question 3
Brendan "What will happen if he is born too soon mommy?"

Me "He might not be ready to come home and have to stay in the hospital like you did when you were born too soon."

Then I asked him, "So why did you not want to stay in mommy's belly and be born so soon?"

His response, "Well mommy, it was all dirty in there and gross.  You ate this cookie and it got all crunched up and I saw it and it was gross so I wanted to get out of there."

Now we know why Brendan was born 10 weeks too soon.  It was gross inside my "tummy" and he had to get away from that disgusting crunched up cookie.

Thanks for clearing that up Brendan.
