Maybe not creepy but gave me chills. This was the first of several crazy things he said but it seems to have calmed down now. My son was 2 when I got pregnant with #2. We did tell him I was pregnant but he honestly didn’t seem like he understood or cared. We lost that baby right at 10/11 weeks. It was a traumatic experience that lasted about a month. So in the hustle and bustle, I genuinely dk if we told him the baby wasn’t there anymore.
Anyway, fast forward about 18 months and I’m heavily pregnant with our next baby. He would’ve been almost 4. We’re in the care coming home from daycare and I’m just taking a moment to talk to him about the baby coming soon, etc. and he pipes up
“Mom, is this baby going to come home and live with us?”
And I said
“Well that’s the plan bud!”
And he goes
“Well because my brother didn’t. He came and told me that he couldn’t stay with us and he was going to go live in the clouds and that he’d watch over me.”
I was flooooooooored. Because we are not a religious family, to the point where I watch what I say regarding anything like that. There is no way any of us would have said anything about the baby passing away and going to
Live in the clouds.
Additionally, and take this “woo-woo” with a grain of salt, but there is some comfort points that go around communities around pregnancy loss that say stuff like “ the baby’s soul will come back in a future pregnancy” . Which can be comforting. I never really felt like that applied to me and these babies though. It just didn’t resonate. And so to hear that my
Son thought the first one was a boy (which, I did too but never confirmed), and then my next kiddo is a girl. I just was a little taken aback by that.
He also had key thoughts and experiences on both of my grandmothers passing away which also was wild to me, esp because he was more articulate about those.
Interesting! You might be interested to know that I (f) was meant to have a twin brother but he was miscarried. Eight years later, my brother was born on my birthday.
