How does the baby come out?

Noah: How does the baby actually come out of your tummy? I've been asking how that happens and no one will answer me.
(I swear I've never heard him ask this. It's one of those things I think I'd remember)
Mom: Do you really want to know?
All Kids: YEAH!!!!
Mom: Well, she comes out of my vagina.
Noah (the only one who really gets it): Whoa!....but how does she get out? Does she get really skinny or just walk out of there? There isn't much room.
Dad: Isn't it amazing the way Heavenly Father makes our bodies so we can have babies?
Mom: The hole gets bigger and the baby kinda squishes out.
Kids: Whoooooaaaaa. Cool.


Then today talking to a neighbor with no kids....
Neighbor: So are you excited for your little sister to come out? How does she come out?
Noah: She comes out of Mommy's vagina (with a very straight face and very matter-of-fact despite the fact that my neighbor is cracking up)

I've always wanted to be very frank with the kids and I think we've achieved that....maybe a little too blunt.

Honesty is the best policy. Good luck with everything baby!

That is awesome!

We try to be 100% honest with the boys and sometimes they take the answer, think on it, and move on. Other times we hear them telling the neighbors or their grandparents things!!

Okay, that's too funny! I'm not sure I'd have been that frank simply because I know Jacob would repeat everything I say!

That is hilarious! That is a question I think moms dread a lot. I know I do. Kasen has asked a couple times too and I am not sure how to answer. I like your theory. BLUNT and HONEST. lol

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!! (or today)
