A Wonderful Mother

Finally... a new post! And this, my friends is a substantial and very exciting one. I've been waiting to post this for several weeks. I am excited and happy to announce that my little sister, Chelsea is pregnant. She and Darin are expecting their little fur ball sometime around June 27 2009. They thought it wise to hold off on telling the world until their first doctor's appointment which was today and everything is looking great. I am so excited to be an aunt. When I was pregnant, I had all sorts of day dreams about my unborn children and motherhood. Now I am day dreaming about aunt hood. I see myself making blankets and babysitting and spoiling that child rotten. I don't know if this will actually happen, but I'm excited to learn the ropes of aunt-ness. I'm also really excited for my kids to have a true cousin. In a few years, we can do cousin sleepovers! Fun! When we say cousin now, my kids usually think we are talking about Daddy's cousins or their kids. So it will be neat for them to finally understand what a cousin actually is. The due date is ironically 5 days after my best friend, Brooke's due date for their little one. Actually I know about 7 women expecting babies around that time frame. It is kinda making me think, "why am I not pregnant?" But that is a whole different post for a different day. In all I am just really happy for my little sister and I know she will be a wonderful mother.

(If you know Chelsea and want to keep up on things with her, she has started a blog which I have now added to the list on the left.)
