Big news
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 11:09AM
I'm going to be an aunt again! My beautiful and amazing younger sister, Andrea, is pregnant with my future niece or nephew! I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew now, and I'm so thrilled to have another. A sweet little pink chubby baby.
Let's back track a little though because there is other news. Earlier this year, when I deemed 2009 the Year of the Wedding, I alluded to another very important wedding that might take place. That was this same sister. The wedding plans came before she realized she was going to be a mom, but either way, this is a big year for her. She'll be a wife in August and a mother in December (she's due a week after my birthday!). Big year for me too because I get to be a bridesmaid in August and an aunt in December. Not quite the same though huh? But since I don't want to be a wife or a mom right now, I'd say I'm doing pretty good.
Last night I helped her make wedding invitations and I got to see an ultrasound picture of my little niece (I think it's a girl, but Andrea begs to differ). I also helped her order a wedding and bridesmaid dresses, and I got to measure her growing boobs and belly to determine a size. We talked about baby names and caterers, onesies and tuxes (or lack thereof). We discussed showers and registries - both wedding and baby - and how both of these things - the wedding marriage and the baby - are going to change everything.
This may not be exactly the timeline she would have predicted, but I'm so happy for her. And so excited to be part of it all.

Congratulations... that's awesome. :) I love being an aunt. :)
Yes, but what about her last name?
That's awesome! Congrats all around. I wish I shared everyone's same love of babies... but they just creep me out. :-)
