Listening to the Baby

Sam, J and I spent part of yesterday afternoon in the room that will be the nursery for the new baby. Sam helped decide where some of the baby toys should be kept, and then he played in his "rocket ship" while J and I put a few other things together (you can see a sneak peek at a few nursery decorations in the background of this photo.

Afterward, I sat in a chair to relax and played "doctor" and "dentist" with Sam. My favorite part of the checkup was when Sam "listened" to the baby's heart beat through his pretend stethoscope. He says that she is healthy, so that's good!

I love this photo of Sam, because I think his facial expression also hints at the expectation and wonder he has about this new baby. We often talk about what the baby will be like and what kind of a personality she might have. We are all anxious to meet her.
