What I’m going to do when the baby is born

I’m really excited to be getting a new baby sister in early December.

I like to rub Mum’s big belly and sing to her so that she knows what my voice sounds like so that she knows that I’m her big brother when she finally gets to meet me.

Mum says there is only about 7 and a half weeks until the baby arrives.

When the baby is born I want to go to the hospital and be the first one out of Jeremy and me to hold her on the day she is born because Jeremy got to hold me the day I was born.

When she comes home from the hospital I am going to tell her stories and sing to her but there is no way I’m going to change her nappy.

Mum and Dad still haven’t decided on a name yet but they have a list that they like and said they will decide when she’s born.

Jeremy hopes that she will like reading the newspaper like he does and will like chess and military history but I think she will probably like rainbows and unicorns because all the girls at school like unicorns and they even think that unicorns are real.
