I'm gonna be the BEST aunt EVER!!!

It's about time Rachael posted that she's having a freakin baby! I've been wanting to tell everyone since i found out. I'm pretty sure that she knew before she officially found out or she at least had suspicions. A week before she found out she made me feel her boobs so i could tell her whether or not they felt swollen. Hello! Like I'm going to be the one to notice if they have gotten bigger. I think that was a question for bengy, not me. Oh well. I do what I have to... :) Anywho I am so excited! Although it feels like I'm pregnant too. Not in the actual sense but in the sense that I'm living it through Rach. And not because I want to. The day after she found out she called just to make sure that we hadn't "forgotten" that she was having a baby. How could you forget something like that?! I get daily updates on how she's feeling, her mood swings, what she read online, new statistics about miscarriages, updates on her list of things to buy, etc. You know, that normal stuff that people who are only 6 weeks along think about! Jeez the mood swings are already getting bad. For example... Rachael called me. So I do the normal thing and call back right? Apparently this was the WRONG thing to do because she somehow forgot that she had called and freaked out on me for saying that she had called me. Confusing or what?! So now when I miss a call I don't know if I should return the call or not. Will she get mad if I do call back or if I don't? Choices, choices, choices... Okay so I be exaggerating a little bit, but the story about the phone call is totally true. I've never been a big fan of children but now having to go through a pregnancy I'm pretty darn positive I never want to have children. I hate feeling sick. That is the worst feeling ever. And then I would have to get fat (fatter than I already am) and your feet get swollen and you can't sleep on your stomach! That is my favorite sleeping position! So not only do I have to go without sleep for 9 months, I have to gain weight and then push a 10 lb IT through a rather small opening, only to face 18 years of stress and craziness raising a goo-producing creature! That just has no appeal for me at all. Babies might be cute while they are sleeping but once they wake up... Hello! No thanks. But don't get me wrong. I am going to spoil my little nieces and nephews like crazy and sleep soundly every night knowing that if the kid starts crying I can just give it back! Oh the joys of being an aunt... :-)

  1. I have to agree, being an Aunt does rock. Being able to give the kid back when you are done having fun is great! But, really when it's your own child... the goo and screaming and whatever is just a small portion of it AND that doesn't even bother you! Spit up has no effect on me now! :)
