The womb

Momo got Andy a very detailed book on babies.  It shows the sperm fertilizing the egg, the cells dividing, and the baby in the womb at different stages. Andy is in love with the book.   We read it about two dozen times a day.  Andy wakes up asking to read the womb book.  He can point to the picture of the baby in the womb that looks like our baby.  He pretends to be Dr. Marin, the doctor in the book, and check our baby's heartbeat. He said he was worried about my womb and about me and about all the water the baby is in.  We talked through it some more and he is no longer worried.  He did ask if there was an excavator in the womb!  The other morning he said "tell me about the baby and about your womb".
