Great news

If you've read my 100 things about me post, you'll know that I don't like being an only child. I was always alone growing up. Entertaining myself for hours in my room with my stereo and endless hours of showtunes. When I was younger, I would ask my parents for a little brother or sister every year for Christmas. Clearly, this didn't happen and I think in the end of it all, I'm glad it didn't. I would have loved to become an aunt and watch my brother or sister become a parent. The closest I'll ever become to being an aunt now is if one of my cousins were to have a baby.

Guess what....I'm going to be an aunt! My cousin is pregnant and I can't even tell you how elated I am. This isn't the first time a baby has come into our family. Many of my cousins have children. But for some reason, this one means the world to me. I think about it daily. I wonder if it will be a boy or a girl. I wonder when I'll get to hold it for the first time. When she told me, I wanted to tell everyone and anyone that would listen. So I'm sure that this won't be the last time I mention my "aunt-hood". So excited!!
