telling the kids

When we told the kids we had them pick a clue out of the bag and try to guess what it is. They were clueless, and we had to eventually tell them.
If my battery hadn't died, we would have gotten Maggie's true reaction which was not good. Let's just say that she isn't thrilled about the idea of having another little person to steal her thunder. I really think she was meant to be an only child. I'm sure she'll get used to the idea, but I kind of got the silent treatment for the day. She said, "why did you pray to Heavenly Father and ask him to put a baby in your belly?" We said, "hey, it wasn't our idea" , and then I explained about how important it is to get a body. We are still having issues, but I'm sure with time it will be great.
