What will she say next

After reading a book to Laura before bed she loves it if I lie down beside her so she can "tell me about her day". I have been loving this time with her. She's open, candid and actually talks. I know she's just trying to prolong bedtime but its still nice to hear about all the little day to day happenings.
So, earlier this week, on one such occasion she is telling me about how Ethan's mom is going to have a baby - in 3 days and Natalia is going to marry Oliver. Her friend Natalia's mom is also pregnant currently. In fact, she's due within the next two weeks so I wasn't surprised they have been talking about babies a little more than usual. Of course, I was a little surprised when she told me "Natalia's going to get the needle". When I asked her about this she stated the needle is how she's going to have the baby. I realized she meant an epidural but found this whole conversation a little surreal - I am definitely not ready for the baby talk with my 5 year old.
