SuperAunt

"I mean think about that! It's like there were no people there, and then there were people"
- The Story of Us

When I left work the other night, Tuesday night, I realized that I had said it once again. "Neice". That my sister would be having my "neice" on Wednesday. I said it the same way over the weekend as if it were common knowledge. They hadn't known the sex of the baby, hadn't found out during the pregnancy. And low and behold, I was right. Even though "neice" was just a slip. Psychic or just a 50% chance of being right? I'll let you be the judge.

Either way, she's gorgeous. Absolutely stunning, as was expected. All of my siblings have made beautiful babies. Every single one of the kids are amazing to hold, look at, and interact with. I look forward to watching them grow, watching them become who they will be, watching them be who they are.

And right now I'm the boring aunt. The strange one who only gives them cards for their birthdays. Most of them don't have a clue and could care less what a savings bond is. But, one day they'll thank me. I love them all so much and as co-Britney fan called me yesterday, she said I'm like "super aunt". I'll wear that title proudly. I may or may not end up having my own kids one day but for now I'm just lucky enough to be blessed with eight amazing little ones already in my life. And possibly eight amazing babysitters by the time I get around to making any kids of my own.
