Interesting thing my 3 yr old told me

This morning him and I were getting in some cuddle time before the other kids woke up and we were talking about when the baby is born. I told him sometimes the baby will kick when someone "pokes" her from the outside, like she doesn't like it. He looked thoughtful then told me "I was comfortable in there". I asked him how he remembers being comfortable in there and again he looked thoughtful before answering, "the blood made me comfortable" I guess he meant the placenta and such? Then he asked the baby (through my tummy) if she liked it in there and he was quiet for a minute before telling me "she said she likes it in there sometimes." I'm not sure if he was just pretending at this point but I thought it was pretty cute.

If nothing else, it sounds like some nice bonding was going on there mamakaykay. Not only with you two, but also with the two of them. You might want to write this down, so you'll have a record if your soon-to-be daughter ever mentions this. yet another reason motherhood is so special.

Write it down. Try not to forget. That is such a sweet story!
Thanks for sharing!

Moon Dansyr-I am due November 2nd but I will probably go by c-section a week or so before that date due to health reasons. You're not being forward at all! And thank you everyone for the suggestion of writing it down! I will certainly do that!

It could also be, he meant the sound of blood circulation (?) made him comfortable. Being pregnant myself now I've read babies in the womb hear that (and other sounds mum's body makes) quite loudly and thus they don't mind a little noisy environment after they have been born, either.

Btw, it sounds like your son is a very adorable little boy!

Karoliina

Karollina-You know, I never even thought of that! I know they can hear from the womb, the little girl we're waiting for now can for sure! In fact as soon as I started typing (my belly is now big enough to be right under the keyboard, lol) she began kicking and punching like crazy!
Cameron always climbs into bed with me in the early morning to cuddle as he says (DH goes to work at 3am so he isn't here at this time and the other kids are still upstairs) and this is when he gets the most thoughtful and curious. I will have to see what else he tells me!

Aaliyah is here!

I didn't think I should start another thread since it would be considered off topic but I wanted to announce that Aaliyah Danielle Nicole was born on October 24th at 8:26 pm via c-section. I was scheduled to have her by c/s on the 26th but she had other plans!
Cameron is very in love with her, he calls her "precious", "my princess" , etc and is always wanting to hold her, kiss her, anything to be close to her. No jealousy whatsoever! The other kids love her tons as well but Cameron spends the most time with her as he isn't in school yet and this thread is mostly about him and his thoughts about her and being in my tummy, etc. Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know she was here and well!

Congratulations!!

Oh, and just thinking, maybe your son and your daughter knows each other from another life, maybe they were friends or relatives and that´s why this special bond continues...

My congratulations mamakaykay. I'm sure the special bond between Aaliyah and Cameron will only grow stronger. Enjoy your new baby, and the nurturing of their wonderful relationship. Best regards.

John

Congratulations, mamakaykay !



Eevee

Maybe one of Aaliyah's past lives?

This happened the day I had Aaliyah. She came 2 days earlier than she was supposed to and I knew she would because of this dream I had in the wee hours of the morning that day. I dreamt I was in my kitchen making breakfast and I looked up the stairs that lead up to the kids bedrooms and there was a yong black man sitting on the stairs. In a firm voice I asked him to leave and go to the light as I did not know who he was. He remained sitting there though and then told me he was Aaliyah and she would be born that day, not 2 days later like planned. He also told me she would be a difficult teenager...his words were "she will give you trouble as a teenager". I woke up to contractions at that point and I delivered her that night. Of course since Aaliyah is only 5 weeks old I can't ask her if this was her in a past life but I will be curious to see what develops as she gets older.

Hi mamakaykay,

It's nice to see you again! Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

What a fascinating dream. It will definitely be interesting to see what unfolds. I hope you'll keep us posted as Aaliyah grows and starts talking.

I remember you speaking about your son Cameron -- and how he referred to the baby as "she" and "my baby" while you were pregnant. I'm wondering if you've noticed any special connection between them?


Ailish

Ailish-thanks for the congrats! Yes Cameron adores the baby! No jealousy issues at all which surprises a lot of people as he was the "baby" for almost 4 years. He loves looking at her and talking to her...she will just sit there and stare at him. It will be interesting to see if she remembers him from a past life or something. He calls her "princess" and "my precious baby/girl". He doesn't go very long without telling her he loves her (several times a day). I asked him once if he was jealous of her because I have to hold her a lot (he knows what being jealous means thanks to older siblings) and his answer was "why would I be?". As babied as he has been you would think he would have some issues with her but he doesn't at all!

More interesting things from Cameron

I have posted before about my son Cameron and the things he has said to me about remembering being comfortable in my womb and his wonderful connection with his new baby sister, Aaliyah. Yesterday he told me something else that got my attention. Thought I would share it here!
Just a little background first: our family is bi-racial. I am white, DH is black (African-American). The kids call themselves "mixed". So yesterday Cameron for some reason was talking about this. He said "You're white, Mama." I replied "yes I am". Then he said "and Daddy's black" once again I say "yes he is". Then he tells me "and I'm mixed." I agree with him again. Then he tells me, "in my next life I will be white." That's what caught my attention! Can someone even know that? Or did he maybe mean his last life? He will be 4 tomorrow so I'm sure terminology can get mixed up. He has never really talked about his past lives, just the memories of being in the womb is the closest I have heard him come so this statement yesterday surprised me. We don't make a big deal about race in our home of course but the kids are aware of their heritage (being mixed). Has anyone ever heard a child talk about their "next" life?

Has anyone ever heard a child talk about their "next" life?

Great question mamakaykay. I look forward to members responses. I have read of cases - but it isn't something that is talked about often here.

I did ask him what he meant but didn't get very far with it. He just repeated what he said. I said "how do you know you will be white in your next life?" and he said "I just do." When I asked him what he meant to confirm it he said "I'll be white in my next life." But I will be keeping my ears open for anything else like this!

Here is a pic of Cameron (will be 4 tomorrow!) and Aaliyah (6 weeks old today) taken a couple weeks ago! As you can see he loves holding her!

What beautiful children! I really enjoyed hearing about Cameron's connection with Aaliyah -- that you shared in the other thread.

She's a very lucky little girl to have a big brother who adores her!

I, too, am fascinated to hear what else Cameron may say. Please keep us posted!


Ailish

Mamakaykay, How cool is that!? I would have been beside myself with Awe.

At least you've been forwarned about her teen years too. Can you imagine if we all received a little bug in our ear like that?

Absolutely incredible. I just had to let you know that.

Wow! that is amazing, having a dream contact with your child on the same day she was born!

I had a similar experience with My first child. She was due on January 17th 1986, but in the early morning of January 5th 1986 I awoke from a dream about a dark haired little girl running to me with her arms outstreched from a beautiful grassy hill. I remember that the colors in the dream were extremely vivid, and although she didn't say anything to me, I had a feeling she was glad to be with me.

I awoke from the dream and started having my first labor pains. She was born at 4:40 that afternoon. She is now almost 21 years old, and she and I have always been close.

You have most beautiful children
Cameron is wonderful big brother
Maybe in past life there were siblings and lost their parents at early age and he looked after her

Yes, it's nice to be forewarned about how a child will be in their teenage years, lol. Aaliyah is now almost 12 weeks old and just a wonderful baby! She smiles all the time and of course always has tons of smiles for her big brother Cameron! She loves all the kids but Cameron is just different. When he talks to her she either gets this real quite seriousness as if she understands him or she just looks so happy. He still calls her his precious or princess. And if he goes somewhere or takes a nap his first question is "Where's Aaliyah?"

mamakaykay,

Congratulations on your beautiful children! You seem to be very blessed! As are they.

Don't be hesitant to ask Aaliyah about her past lives. Infants are more cognitive than people give them credit for. When I was a few days old I laid in my crib just waiting to come home. In my earliest months I pondered my location and existence.

Maybe she could give you hand signals.

More stuff from Cameron

I thought I would just keep it all in one thread rather than post an entirely new one.
He talks a lot. About many different things. A lot of stuff you wouldn't imagine coming out of a 4 year olds mouth and I know a lot of it has to do with having 3 older siblings that teach him things but these things I am about to tell about have nothing to do with the kids, at least I don't think so.
Cameron talks a lot about God. Now, we are not a religious family. My husband doesn't really believe in God at all, and actually despises organized religion having grown up in a Southern Baptist family and being forced to go to church as a child. Anyway I won't get into all that. I DO believe in God though I don't go to church. I have a sort of mixed bag as far as beliefs go. So we don't go to church and we don't teach a lot of religion in our home. Our kids do pray at dinner time but they don't have to, it's just something they do.
Anyway, Cameron talks a lot about God. He tells me things about how God is always here with us and he made the moon...one night he and I were walking home from the store and he was asking all sorts of questions about everything he could think of then all the sudden he tells me that God made the moon and everything else. Yesterday he told his sisters that God lived in the "skies". Just a few minutes ago he told me "it's just you, me, Blaze, Billy, the cats, and the baby here...and God. He's always here". It's just interesting to me how much he talks about God and seems to know although we've never really talked about it with him. I just asked him who told him all this about God and he said "no one, I just know.". Very matter of fact about it. It makes me wonder if maybe it is tied into a past life.
Anyway, I wanted to share this with the forums. I hope I haven't offended anyone by talking about my family's lack of religion, it's a really long story and I feel like there is room in this world for every belief and religion and I would never look down on anyone for their beliefs! Just like I would hope no one would look down on me for mine.

Hi mamakaykay,

Certainly no one here will judge you on the choices you make. Each person has their own path to follow.

I find it interesting that Cameron speaks so much about God. I think his answer "I just know" was really sweet. Has he ever said or done anything else to indicate he might have had a religious past life? I know Vicky's son prayed in a very unique way that had never been shown to him in this life.

Do you keep a journal for Cameron? If not, you might want to consider it. Write down the things he says and pay attention to the way he plays -- that can be a really good indication of pl experiences.

Please keep us informed about your sweet little guy!
