This spring, I’m going to be an auntie again (must. contain. the exclamation. points)! This time, though, it will be a driving distance baby. A baby I can snuggle after 3 hours of Glee playlists and one potty break at a rest stop of questionable cleanliness. Our own brood is still a couple of years off (the Dork Lord will be transferring to SMU in the fall and I probably don’t have to tell you that an infant + husband working/in school full time = one of those poor crazy ladies that end up on the news) so this is just the kind of squeeee! I live for. If only I could be more patient about it. Every day I email my sister and ask if the baby is ready. Every day she tells me, “Not yet.” Is there no fast-track program for kid making? If anyone is eligible, she is, so let’s get on with it!
Anyway, for a bit I was able to focus some of my energies on making her baby announcement, which as distracting for about ten minutes. (See? This is why I need so many orphaned kittens!)
Being an “Auntie” is the bomb. I treasure mine, as well as my younger cousins, who I once changed their diapers and now we await to change those of their little ones!
It’s beautiful.
Congratulations Auntie.
VERY creative announcement- I love it! You should have your own media design biz, I say. Congrats to your whole family on the impending new addition!
Squeeeeee!!! Being an aunty is great – I only wish that there was a chance I’d one day have a niece/nephew in driving distance.
As someone who is about a month ahead of your sister on that track, I just want to say that those fruit things are scary and, in my opinion, they are rather confused on the whole which fruit is bigger than the other thing.
I, too, am dying to procreate, but have a b.f. in grad school. Are you sure we can’t handle it? I don’t waaaaanna wait.
(Plus, I worry about being too OLD by the time he gets out of grad school. Let’s just get out with it.)
I don’t have any nieces nearby, but fortunately I do have several pregnant friends nearby. It helps.
Congratulations!! Love the announcement.
Seriously, one of the best – maybe the best – announcement I have ever seen! And congratulations to everyone.
Congrats! As one of those ladies (work full time plus two part time jobs, have a toddler and am expecting in early Feb while my husband is in school and working part time), I say, DO IT. Of course, I may also be delirious from the lack of sleep…..
Congrats to you and your sister and her family! LOVE that announcement – clever.
Congratulations! Great announcement — nice thinking outside the box!
Adore the announcement – I am due one day later and that is just too cute. Congrats on the new Auntie cubed!
Congratulations, Auntie! This (http://www.toofab.com/2011/11/30/christopher-meloni-law-and-order-svu-true-blood/) should add to your joy…
That announcement is PERFECT!!
If you made that available as a plug-in/widget for people to use, they would pay money – at least a little, anyway!!
So, since nobody else is asking, I’ll ask… how do we know said baby-to-be was conceived on October 12, 2011???
I love, love, love that announcement! Sell it somewhere!
