Here we go again...
« on: October 26, 2008, 05:31:09 PM »
Charlie is just over a year old, and he's already going to be a big brother next year.   :o :-) 

I got an "urgent" text message from my sis while at work today, and when I responded by calling, she said "Well, you're going to be an aunt again."

 *faints*

Now there will be two for me to spoil... I don't think I can afford that!  :thatsright:

There are always plenty of other relatives willing to do the spoiling.  Don't worry.  :)

Well, they want a big family... It's just happening a lot sooner than expected.  I thought my sister had rid my brother-in-law of all his Catholic ways... apparently not.   :p   J/K!!!

When I was growing up, the family across the street was Catholic.  My friend had seven brothers and sisters.  :leghump:

Yeah, our family's large enough that Charlie and Blessing #2 will be well-taken care of.  Still, I like to buy little things for them, or else I feel guilty.  I bought Charlie a cute church suit for a Christmas/late birthday present.

They're young enough where they don't know any better.  At that age, they're more interested in the box the gift came in.

A church suit would be a handsome gift.  Has he won it yet?

Not yet.  I only sent it out to Mississippi a few days ago.  By the time Christmas comes around, he may be too big for it! He's growing way too big.  :bawl:

Thanks, Bijou.  We're praying that all does go well, given our worries regarding the miscarriage she had, plus the scare we had when we thought my sister was going to lose Charlie too.  :(

Oh, and here's a random pic of Charlie:  :-)

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Congrats Auntie ACC. Will they call you "Aunt Ach"?  :p

My little brother and sis in law are due in February and my old college roomate just had his first little one too. Must be going around. Geezey. I sure hope they find out what is causing these things to happen.

LOL!

I am Auntie Lauren (well, that's what my SISTER chose for Charlie to call me when he starts talking...whatever happened to my opinion?!  :hammer:  Just kidding. )  We're all hoping its another boy, so we won't have to worry much about baby clothes. :p

Uhm...they do know what's causing these babies don't they?

Yeah, they do.  And they DO take precautions.

There is a reason (something went wrong with the birth control pills), but that is as far as I will go with the details publicly.
