I’m going to have

a new baby in my family!

The baby is going

to be my new

little brother or sister

Sometimes I wish the baby was here already so that

we could play together But I have to wait because Mommy says babies take nine months to grow.

I’m Sam.

This is my picture of me and the baby having fun.

The baby is growing

inside Mommy’s tummy

The baby is very small

right now, but as it

grows, Mommy’s

tummy will grow, too

Mommy’s tummy will be big enough for the baby until it is born.

I’m helping Mommy

and Daddy to get ready

for the new baby

We buy lots of things

that a little baby

will need.

I put toys near the crib and a photo of me

on the baby’s bureau Maybe I will lend the baby one of my teddy bears, too!

Guess what? Grandma is

coming to stay while Mommy

I wonder if the baby will look like me?
