my dd is pretty excited at the moment at the realisation that she was in my tummy, and ds was in my tummy, but daddy was in grandma's tummy, mummy was in nanny's tummy etc....

it has got me thinking about how and when to talk about all the different relationships in the family. one of my siblings was adopted in to our family, a cousin (who we have contact with) was adopted out of the family. none of these are secrets, and they don't need to be, but at a basic level the adoption factor also doesn't matter.

so, when we talked about my siblings, we said A, B, C, E were in nanny's tummy too. Not strictly true, but is if we are justusing 'in nanny's tummy' to describe the family structure.

just wwondered if this has come up in other families and how the conversation has gone. i assume it will come up naturally at some point.
