He was really interested in the whole thing. We kept it basic saying he was going to be a big brother and that mama had a baby in her tummy. His response "we can use scissors to cut the baby out". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615992 Tue, 06 May 2014 11:04:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1615992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to explain but without a pregnancy to witness, it was a tough sell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615962 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:58:02 +0000 cascademom 1615962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant yet either, but this is a cute thread. LO knows the word baby really well, so it'll be interesting when I am. I think he knows the word well because there's a few infants at his daycare right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615895 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:38:27 +0000 ValentineMommy 1615895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is only 15m...so he has no idea what's going on. My dog seems to know, however. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615892 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:37:42 +0000 Mamaof2 1615892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS was 20 months when I got pregnant - I don't remember telling him at all so I guess it wasn't all that exciting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615890 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:35:33 +0000 autumnlove 1615890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: She gave her LO a wrapped box with a bunch of helium balloons, pic of ultrasound and a big sister shirt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615880 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:32:24 +0000 Cherrybee 1615880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: What did your friend do? </p> <p>Our friends didn't have to tell their LO because she told them, before they even found out. She said "mummy, there's a baby in your belly" and there was. So creepy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615879 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:32:18 +0000 swurlygurl 1615879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is only 15 months, so nothing exciting. She knows the word 'baby', and she knows the word 'tummy', so I keep trying to tell her that 'Mommy has a baby in her tummy.' The look I get is awesome... haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615723 Tue, 06 May 2014 09:53:47 +0000 autumnlove 1615723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Hahaha, I just heard about my friend's reveal with her 3 year old and it sounded so cute! I hope do something special if I ever get the chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-your-toddler-that-you-were-expecting#post-1615713 Tue, 06 May 2014 09:50:03 +0000 MrsTiz 1615713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously!
