"When my Baby is born"

Driving to the Grocery store today, Elliana said:
Mommy I want to tell you something. With her serious face, she goes on and tells me....
When MY Baby is born, it's going to grow up big  and he won't fit in his baby clothes anymore and it's going to sleep a lot and eat a lot and I will feed him and make sure he doesn't cry and that he eat's a lot." I then try to tell her that it  would be okay that Baby cries, because they all do that. With her little 4 year old confident self, she tells me "well MY Baby is not going to cry at all, because I will make sure that My Baby doesn't cry"
First of all I am thinking this Baby is no longer my Baby, but  hers.
Second, how did I get so lucky to already have such a caring child to a sibling that's  not born yet.
Third, I guess today we are having a boy. 

As the day progressed and we played around, I mentioned to her that I will not be able to play a lot with her and that I will just sit and watch her play because my belly was starting to hurt. She asked with a concern voice "Is MY Baby okay?" I told her yes, that Mommy is just not feeling well. She tells "if I kiss MY Baby, is it going to make it feel better?" I said yes and sure enough she showers my belly with lots of kisses.  What a sweet sweet girl I have. Such treasured memories.
