A little something about nothing

Exciting News!

Without even trying to, on Friday I stumbled across the most exciting news...my cousin is pregnant! I know, the average person would read this and say, big deal, people get pregnant every day; however, there are two things that make it so exciting...first, it is MY cousin and second, there have been complications before that made this exciting situation completely unexecpted.

This next comment is probably going to come out wrong, but I'll try to explain. I found out last week that my brother and sister-in-law are expecting their 3rd child and I was more excited when I heard about my cousin then I was for them. They get the official word from the doctors today, but the doctor already said she was, just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything wrong before confirming it, so they haven't told everyone yet. Don't get me wrong, of course I am happy to have a new neice or nephew, it is just the situation. My brother was overly content with having two children but his wife was dead set on having a 3rd because she is convinced she is having a girl. Part of me wishes she'd have her girl and just be done with it, but part of me is wishing that it will be another boy. No, I am not the type to wish mean things, but she is so set on having a girl and was so disappointed when she found out her other two were boys that I fear she will put all her attention on this little girl and neglect the boys, which will hurt them more than I am willing to accept. Also, she has a very hard time controlling the two boys she already has, so I cannot even imagine her trying to cope with 3. Oh, and my brother has been planning and saving for over a year to take the whole family as a surprise to Disney for the first time. The hotel is booked for August...they got a room at a hotel that has a safari right outside their window and it is right on the Disney property. He is so excited and proud of himself for being able to do this for the family. Now they have to try and move the date and hope that she will be feeling up to the trip. He even told her no matter what, she had to wait until after the trip to get pregnant. Although, it does take two to make a baby!

Okay, enough gripping, back to the good stuff!! Oh, one more thing that is odd, not necessarily bad. I told my aunt this exciting news and she had a strange reaction; although, she was a bit tipsy at the time. I know she is excited about it, but it also seemed like she was a little jealous. Not because she wants to be pregnant, but it is like an only child having a new sibiling and losing that sole attention. I don't know, maybe I am reading it wrong, but with past situations, I'm thinking I'm not too far off.

Either way, I think I have more than enough excitment for my cousin to make up for over half the family if not more!! Oh, and the even more exciting news is she will soon be rich with her new idea that will sell like hot cakes on EBay...bedazzled maternity underwear! Yep, it will be the hot item walking down the runways of Paris come this Fall...just you wait and see. Remember you heard it here FIRST!!
