Dark But Sometimes Light

I was chatting with my boys over breakfast this morning as we do every morning and the topic of babies came up as it does from time to time since they have a new baby cousin. I said they were babies once upon a time and lived in Mommy's tummy before they were born.

Jokingly I asked them if they remembered before they were born and they both said "yes".

So I asked them what it was like in Mommy's tummy.

"Dark".
"But sometimes light".

I asked them if they remembered what they did in Mommy's tummy.

"Kicking".
"Hiccups. And Seth."

I asked them if they heard anything.

"Mommy. Daddy was not there."
"Thump noise. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

I don't know what to make of it really, but I'm posting it because this has to be the most incredible conversation I've ever had in my entire life.

PS. Nate did not literally say "whoosh" but rather made a whooshing sound that sounded like a heartbeat – or at least what would pass for what I used to hear when we had a good doppler and a nice technician who let us listen in.

PPS. This post seems incomplete without a picture and as it happens I have a picture that I love but was never quite sure how to work into a post, especially since it was taken last summer and the window of opportunity kind of came and went. I colored my hair a little. And I got smooches.
