Drew knows about his littlest sister

So we told Drew the news, that he is expecting another baby sister.... it was a few weeks earlier than we wanted to tell him, BUT....
Drew has had sort of an emotional few days. Over the weekend we went to the cemetery to visit, and as we approached, he just started crying and saying how he wanted Kiersten & Brooklyn to come down, how he wanted his sissy's here with him to play with and so he could hug them. He was really quit sad... we just let him get it out and I held him. It's always his choice if he wants to go out the grave site, and of course he did. After we left he was fine. But this week he has been asking when we could get a new baby, and even as recent as a few days ago he flat out asked me if there was a baby in my tummy (see below post). Anyways, last night, he picked up a little music box that is in our dining room area, it was given to me by a dear friend, on the girls 1 year anniversary, its like a Jesus angel, hold a baby angel up in the air. Anyways he was holding it and winding it so it would play music, and he just again started sobbing about his sisters and how much he misses them, and wants them here. He again started asking when could we have another baby, and that he wanted one now, one he could play with. We thought it was time to tell him, to try to ease his aching heart a little bit.... we sat down with him, and Kevin said, "Drew, there is a baby growing in mommy's belly", at first he looked shocked and blank faced and then his face lite up and he laughed. We told him its another little sister, but he protested, that he wanted 2 babies.... we had to explain to him how usually people just have one at a time, but he was not satisfied with that. Kevin told him, we will have one for now and see.... (hmmm). Anyways, we also had to remind him that this baby has a lot of growing to do, and that we will need to pray really hard everyday for this baby. I know to some it might sound weird, semi-alerting him that this is no guarantee, but it's the cold hard truth of things. I am lucky that I think he really understands that. So after that, Drew said well I don't see her or hear her... so we showed him the ultrasound pictures, and at bedtime he listened to her heart beating through the doppler, at which time he said "I hope her body keeps working for a long time, forever".
