Big Cousin
I’ve been not writing about this for a couple weeks. Finally being able to talk about it makes me so happy! Most of you know I grew up with in a house with one sister. Julie and I are nearly three years apart. Mom asked me one time, “I wonder when Julie and Kevin will have a baby?” I said, “When Charlotte is three.” Mom said, “Why do you say that?” I said, “Because she does everything three years after me.” Mom laughed at my silly generalities.
Before the 4th of July holiday, Julie called me to say she and my brother-in-law were coming to see us in our new house. I said to Greyson, “I was thinking they were going to tell us they’re pregnant, but Julie sounded too perky. She didn’t sound tired enough to be pregnant.” Little did I know, Julie is better at hiding first trimester fatigue and indeed came to announce their big news!
Julie is due January 16. She reminded me these little cousins will be in the same grade in school and just 2 1/2 months apart in age. So fun! I can’t wait to meet my niece or nephew!
As happy as I am, as happy as I am for Julie and Kevin, I’m most happy for Charlotte. Siblings make us who we are and cousins are part of what makes childhood fun.
Spread it around:
Absolutely! I couldn’t agree more, siblings and cousins make it 10x better! 😀 Congrats to your sis!
Awww, this just made my heart melt!! My bestie and I planned our pregnancies together so I can relate to the feeling. They are 4 months apart : ) It has been so much fun watching them grow together! I bet your Mom is jumping for joy as well ; )
Please extend my congrats to Julie! Very exciting times for both of you guys!!
Aw, so exciting. Please tell Julie congrats for me! I’m excited for you too. There is nothing like being an Aunt! Congratulations to everyone! <3
