im an aunt.
nikki had her baby on june 2nd at 5:02 am. she pushed from 2am till 5 and was eshausted. she has helped my decision to never have children become an easy one. i could have never been that strong or care that much for a life. she will be an amazing mother.
he is the cutest newborn ive ever seen. not that i see many newborns, but babies are almost always ugly as sin until theyre like 1 or 2.
so im really happy about that. not as happy as nikki though since its her baby.
his name is john patrick and he looks like this:


needless to say, my brother is pretty happy too:


the baby was tiny since it was born early, and against my brothers giant hands he looks even tinier. he has gregs big feet and he looks just like him when he sleeps. puts his hands all over his face and scrunches it up.

chris and i dont have room mates anymore. nikki and greg live in the unit we lived in and jp will be in what used to be our bedroom. we live upstairs now in their old place. i like it up here. my kitchen is big and has black tiles. its awesomeness.

life is different for me and is continuing to change. im getting used to the idea of being an aunt and having a baby to mind downstairs. at first i was really worried about it all but ive decided im happy. i still loathe babies and find all kinda of twisted things entertaining that i probably shouldnt mention in here since this is a public entry. but i dont feel this way about john-patrick. hes the special exception to the rule. i like looking at him and holding him and im sure ill get used to liking lots of other things about him that i didnt think id like about a baby.
but i definitely know now that i will never ever be having one of my own.
as i mentioned, we dont have room mates anymore. i didnt mind having them when we did, but not having them... wow its pretty nifty. i just really need to be able to rely on privacy. im not a very stable person and even though i really like stephanie (hello to you missy if youre reading this) i dont like anyone but chris and my cats enough to want to share my life with them on a daily basis. its just not where its at for me.
i keep a pretty erratic schedule. i like to be loud when i feel like being loud and i like it to be quiet when i need it to be quiet. and sharing a place with many other lives who have other lifestyles just plain doesnt work for me.
now that i have the freedom i hope i never hafto go back. its dandy and it makes me smile each day. i get to wake up and decide when to do my chores and i like that i have my own place to take care of and decorate. im turning into a fab housewife.
our place has come together really well. we still need a coffee table, and a dining room table. both of which are pretty vital.

chris and i have an anniversary this month on the 17th. two years.
i got him a super-keen present but i cant say what it is because i dont know who reads this anymore.
but since i havent updated it in ages, probably no one.
