I'm going to be an Aunt

Aunt trouble is to be expected! No, Grandma trouble is different - you do have to be careful. It is sometimes a thin wire you're walking.

Aunts, on the other hand, are expected to be "cool."

I'm so happy for you! My oldest daughter and her hubby waited 10 years until they had a baby. I remember how excited my other two daughters were to finally become aunts. Of course "Olivia" is 7 now, and she thinks her aunts are the best.
When Olivia was learning to talk she called her Aunt Nikki, KiKi which just melted Nikki's heart. She called her Aunt Krissy, Kissy. They still go overboard on gifts for her, but that's an aunts perogative.
Oh, by the way, I'm Kathy, , nice to meet you. I'm new here!

Kathy,

You're not new anymore! You jumped right in and now you've pretty much become one of us.

It surely didn't take you long!

I don't know how often I'll see it since they don't live here, but I am super excited. I love to buy toys. I am such a child at heart. Before too long I might have one of my own (not preggers, just thinking about it) & then they'd be close to the same age & can play together at family things. It'll be need.

Aww, how exciting! I definitely remember that feeling. I became an aunt when I was in 1st grade. I told my teacher every day "he's not here yet, but maybe tomorrow." I remember being SO excited and I know you are too. You'll be a great aunt! Congrats!

My husband has a sister that all the kids think is the greatest aunt. When she comes home all the kids want to be with her and she sends little gifts once in a while to them. I know that one time she sent Jaci a little plastic fly. It's been frozen in ice cubes, placed in drinks, and in all kinds of other places. She usually just sends little neat things, not anything that's expensive. Even if you don't live near your neice you can still be a special aunt to her!
