One of my friends is pregnant with her second child. We saw her and her daughter today, and after the children had played for awhile, I went to change David's diaper while my friend watched over my other two (she had offered, so I took her up on it). When I came back, I discovered James had asked her "What is in there?" pointing at her pregnant belly. I am happy with how he phrased his question because it could have been quite awkward if he had asked the same thing differently. She explained to him that a baby was in there...Anna's baby brother. My friend even let James touch her belly.
I expected more questions to come up regarding babies in bellies, but for the most part James let it rest. In the car he asked again about her belly, so I told him that a baby was in there...Anna's baby brother...babies grow in bellies. Then James asked "they take the baby out of the belly?" I told him, yes, when the baby is ready, they would take him out of the belly. I didn't have to explain anything regarding James growing in a belly (or any of my kiddos for that matter) although I was prepared to answer those questions once James took notice and was asking about my friend's pregnant belly.
