Extra extra! Read all about it! I FINALLY became an auntie yesterday! My brother and SIL had a baby yesterday. They didn't find out the gender until the delivery. What the what?! Hello impatient me! I had so many ultrasounds with each pregnancy that waiting until he delivery to find out the gender was pretty near impossible. I knew I was having 3 boys way before I even had the ultrasound! HA! And so of course I predicted my brother would also be having a boy and I was right! My dad has 4 brothers and no sisters so I guessed boy. Our family doesn't make too many girls! Anyways I was right! My cute nephew was born yesterday. I am so excited. I am excited for my brother and SIL to be a family of 3. I am excited that I am finally an auntie! I am excited that my kids finally have a cousin! I cannot wait to meet him. They live in another state so hopefully we can make it out there soon.
I felt kind of weird having my adoption friends see my post of their new baby. The adoption friends with no biological kids. That can be painful to see that. I'm sure they would like to bring a baby home from the hospital without looking back over their shoulder constantly wondering if the birth parents were going to change their mind and take the baby back. No stress other than hoping the baby is healthy. Oh well you can't fault people for being able to have biological children. I've said before that I am happy to have grown my family both ways....I have been blessed with biological and adopted children. After having biological children, I knew just how much birth moms sacrifice when they place a baby for adoption. That bond is so great the minute the baby enters the world. That means a lot when a birth mom entrusts you with her baby forever. Something else noteworthy happened- their new baby did not make me want to have another. I had that feeling for so many years. It finally went away. I am happy and content with my family. And I am utterly thrilled for my brother and SIL. My nephew weighed more than my brother, my kids or I did! LOL! Big healthy baby with cute chubby cheeks!
I mentioned that I am finally an aunt and my kids finally have a cousin. If you've been reading my blog, you might be thinking "but you are already an aunt and your kids do have a cousin already".
Technically, that is true. But since "those people" have chosen for whatever crazy reason they have concocted to not acknowledge my children and pretend they don't exist, they don't really count as relatives anymore. :(
I am so excited to meet my new nephew!
Now....let the spoiling by this auntie begin! ;)
