Today, I went to the doctor with my sister-in-law and brother to see my niece in her very first close-up. (Also known as the 3D ultrasound.) She was fast asleep and refused to wake, despite the attempts by the technician to shake her from her slumber. She gets that from me.
Even though my general response when people ask me, “What did she look like?!” is that she looked like a baby, she did appear to have my brother’s lips and my sister-in-law’s nose.
I had two immediate thoughts when I saw her sweet little face:
1. I can’t wait to meet her!
2. I can’t believe my brother is having a baby!
I sure hope he’s outgrown that whole torturing teddy bears and Barbie dolls thing…
Being an aunt has been a huge blessing in my life. I know you will cherish it just as much as I have, and what's even more amazing is watching your siblings mature and become a parent…
