Brenan the big brother...

I know Brenan is going to be a great big brother. He has always loved babies of all sizes. When he was really little, like less than a year old, he would freak out if he heard a girl baby cry... the boy babies, he just looked at like he couldn't figure out what was wrong with them. Those baby girls crying just ripped at his heart. He is so funny about wanting to see the baby. He will come over and just pull my pants down so he can rub my tummy. He came up to me the other day and wanted to see the baby. I lifted up my shirt and down my pants so he could see my belly. He lifted up his shirt and put his little belly to mine. He wiggled around saying "Nuggle, nuggle, baby" He was already snuggling the baby. He also has picked a name. He insists that the baby is a boy when anyone asks him, and he also tells them that he is naming that little boy Knight. He has said this multiple times, and he always remembers the same name. It has gotten to the point that my hubby has even started calling the baby Knight! Brenan had dumped his water out all over the floor and I walked in and said "Brenan, look what you did." He looked up at me with his serious little eyes and said "Knight did." He even told my doctor that he was naming the baby Knight. My doctor just laughed and said "well, thats a pretty cool name" He also tells me that he wants to tickle the babies bum... that one made me laugh. When he asks about the baby, he says 'tummy' and I say, "yes, the baby is in mama's tummy". He wants to have the baby in his tummy, and he gets upset at me when I tell him he can't. I told him he could hold the baby in his heart, because he loved it, and that seemed to satisfy him. So now, when I ask him where the baby is, he says "heart".
I know there might be that little jealousy thing that comes out after the baby is actually born, but I really am not expecting too much of a problem with it. He might want to hold it all the time, which could pose some problems, but I can't blame him for loving it too much.
