Auntie Jen?

I am going to be an aunt! I am going to be an aunt! I am going to be an aunt! I am going to be a an aunt! I am going to be an aunt!
Now imagine that is written in all different colors and sizes and fonts. I am excited that I am going to be an aunt! It is about time. I have been waiting to tell everyone for a while now, and now my sister says I can! She is due in early May! Baby, mom, and new hubby are doing great. Everyone is excited including my mom (A little surprise there). Now my kids are going to have a cousin. I loved the stories and the trouble my cousins and I got into as kids. Now it's their turn.
I know it's been a long time inbetween post, I 've been working. Is it time to say I hate my job? I am looking to do something else next year (come hell or high water) more on that later. For now I am going to leave you with...
I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNT! And shame on you, who jumped to the conclusion I was expecting. I am not pregnant! I have to say that at least 3 times a day for people to believe me. Something about getting married and then you are to have a child within the next year. Well, it ain't going to happen that quick! I am going to enjoy my niece or nephew first!

Out of the Mouths of Babes

So, my family is talking at dinner Friday night when Little A starts talking about babies. How he wants a baby brother or sister. He wants mom and papa to have 2 babies. He is explaining how it could be 2 boys, 2 girls, or one of each. How the boy(s) could live in his room and how the girl(s) could live in Ms. G's room. AND, how he wants them now. He looks at me and said "Go ahead and fat that tummy up. You need to eat more." As if eating more and getting a fat tummy will allow him to have the young sibling he has always wanted.
He had us in stiches over the whole thing. Believe me when I tell you he has the whole thing already planned out in his mind. Unfortunately, I do not think he understands the fact that the baby will be a baby and not a toddler he could play with when it is born. OR the fact I am already not sleeping through the night b/c of Ms. G. I could not imagine adding midnight feedings to that unrestful sleep.
It is still very funny to hear the little mind of a 6 year old trying to get us to have another child. I can not wait to tell him in May he will get to play with a little baby. ( that is all I can say for now. )
Smile! The kids have no school Monday!
