#42 Baby in Two Days

Brecken: I am so excited for the baby in your tummy to come!!
Me: Yep, but it's gonna take a while.
Brecken: How long?
Me: Well, six more months.
Brecken: (excitedly) That's not long at all!!
Me: Well, one month is thirty days...
Brecken: (concerned now) How long is six months??
Me: Well, six months is about 180 days.
Brecken: That's a long time!!!
Me: Well it takes a long time for the baby to grow big enough (cut off)
Brecken: (very urgently) Can I say a prayer???
Me: (when would I ever say no to that, really) Sure.
Brecken: Dear Heavenly Father, thankful for this day. Please bless the baby to grow fast. Please help it to grow big enough in two days. (and then she closed her prayer)
Aren't you so excited?? The baby is going to be here in two days!!!!!!

You know, that last few weeks of pregnancy I really wish it worked like that... but for now... I'm glad it's not up to the whim of a four year old.
