Great Expectations

It is with great pleasure that I announce that I'm going to be an aunt for the second time around. Justin and Eva are adding another one to the fold, and their family of three will be four come March.

They heard the baby's heartbeat early last week, and the doctor pronounced it strong and healthy. Unfortunately for poor Eva, she's feeling a bit green.

And me? At first, I felt trepidations - what if I don't connect with the new baby like I have with Dillon? And then, I remembered the day Dillon arrived, a totally unknown quantity, sparking the deepest, most unconditional love. And then I thought...I can hardly wait.

Congrats!! How wonderful for you all. Glad the universe saw fit to finally throw you something bright and happy to celecrate. It's hard to fathom how you could possibly love as much as you do now, but you will!

YAY!! Congratulations, Auntie! Aw, a little sib for Dillon. He will be a great big brother. Congrats to the fam.

Poor Eva. It's terrible feeling green. Pretty much nothing worked for me, but maybe get her some gingersnaps?
