The Wheels are Always Turning....

Recently we have been talking a lot of how babies are conceived. The twins had been asking questions, so I thought it was a good time to start talking about it. Also, the twins have been talking to one of their donor siblings on Skype and will meet another one next week. So these talks have also helped in trying to explain just how these other kids relate to them.

We have had many good talks, and I also bought a great book that was suggested to me called 'It's not the Stork'. Both K and S like to look at the book and ask questions, but K seems more interested and asks many questions while we talk, but also through out the day and days later. It is incredible what she comes up with.

Today we were watching tv and there was something on showing a woman having an US. The conversation went like this...

K: Mom I don't want to have babies when I grow up.
M: Okay. You don't have to have babies if you don't want to.
K: Does that mean I can't snuggle and hug my husband in bed?
GULP....
M: No. There are things that can make it so you can't have babies
K: What?
M: You don't need to worry about it now. We can talk about it when you're a little older.

What in heck! The weird thing is, we really have not put any focus on the act of sex because that isn't in their conception story. There is a section in the book that talks about sex, and we've read it once or twice but never really talked about it, focusing rather on sperm and eggs with donors and mommy :0)

It goes to show you that you never really know which parts they are really listening to.
