Chinese Cabbage

I had a doctor's appointment today and Jack went with me. It was quite the adventure. He got to take his Lightning McQueen backpack filled with toys he picked out just for the doctor. Everything was just fine at the check-up and my trusty BabyCenter email tells me that our baby boy is the size of a Chinese cabbage this week. That is about 2 1/4 pounds and 15 inches. Jack got to hear the baby's heartbeat and he thought that was pretty cool. When the nurse asked him where his heartbeat was he told her he left it at home.

He is starting to talk about the baby more now. Yesterday at breakfast he told me he is going to feed his baby brother yogurt when he gets here. And today when I left him in his room for his nap, I could hear him going through his toys. He found an old teddy bear-lovey thing and announced that his baby brother would like to play with it. He also thinks he is going to be the one to carry around the baby when he gets here. Maybe he'll settle for rocking him in the swing!
