I Got the BEST Present EVER
I just found out I'm going to be an aunt again!

My sister, who has sworn for years that the 2 kids she has is going to be it, told the family today that she's due in June. She and her husband have a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old. They're absolutely thrilled about the new baby.

Great surprise, most excellent gift!

15. Oh trust me
I don't even bother...that's what the grandparents are for. As evidenced by the increased noise level after the kids opened presents yesterday. Ugh.

4. Excellent news! I enjoy being an Aunt so much.
I don't have any of my own, but I stay involved in the lives of my nephew and niece.

I'd be happy if my brother and his wife had another too!


Congrats, huskerlaw!

6. I love it too
This will be niece/nephew #8. I don't have any of my own and the youngest one is already 3, so we're all very excited to have another baby to play with.

Besides, this takes the pressure off of me for another few years, at least! ;)

10. Congrats, Auntie!
Glad you won a reprieve for a couple years...not that the heat should be on you to reproduce anyway unless you want to :D

20. I know, right
I thanked my sister for taking this round for me. ;)

They weren't *really* pressuring me, but the youngest grandkid is 3, so they were like "awww, I miss babies!" and then they'd look at me...and then laugh. So, no biggie, but now I don't have to deal with even that anymore...for a while. ;)
