AB: rubs Paint’s belly “One kicked, Mommy!“

PS: giggles “I’m sure they did, sweetie. They’re probably excited to come out; I know your Daddy wants to see them.“

AG: “And when they come out, we’re gonna be one big happy family!“

PS: “Yes, of course we are!“

PS: “Be careful, sweetie! I’ll be right out!” struggles to get up (to herself) “One big, happy family…”
