Thanks MantaRay (like your name too), that's a really good point about the hospital thing. I've encouraged him to feel the baby inside and he often comes up and kisses it randomly! We do talk about it but i don't want to bang on about it constantly as there are still 6 wks to go and i don't want him to feel like it's taking forever and he'll maybe lose interest. His speech is not very developed as he's exposed to a few different languages so it's difficult for him to let me know how he may be feeling. I'm just trying to prepare him the best way i think will work for him as i guess everyone does for their children, with respect and love.
I ordered the books today and will beginto talk about going away to have the baby. Luckily his best friend is also expecting a new baby brother in 2 weeks so that will also help him get a grasp on the situation.

Cheers and thanks again.
