After the loss of Caitlyn, I now have the concern of what and when to tell my nephew. I don't want him to find out from others but I also don't think he needs to know right now (he is 5 1/2). He is a very switched on little boy so we decided if he asked when we are having another baby we would tell him that we have a seed inside me that we are growing at the moment and if we are lucky then we may end up with a baby. But like the crops Daddy grows, sometimes the seeds grow and sometimes they don't so we just need to wait and see what happens.
He is a country boy so the crop analogy works well for him. In our situation (he knows all about Caitlyn's death) we didn't want him to have an image of all pregnancies dying which is the reason for not saying the words *pregnant* and *baby* at the moment. Once we have scans and the pregnancy progresses further then he will be included with the u/s pictures etc.
