I'm going to be an Aunt!

[lovely_chance]

Just this morning, as I was taking out the dishes from the dishwasher, my older brother comes into the kitchen and tells me I'm going to be an aunt. My first reaction was "oh okay" and continued to unload the dishes. I thought he was only joking. Then he  asks me if I was happy about it. That's when I looked at him to see if he was really serious. All he did was grin, so I take it as a yes. It's true then. He and his girlfriend are really having a baby. The thought of my unreliable brother as a father is hard to take seriously. And the girlfriend is still a college student. How will they mange to take care of this baby? I know my parents are willing to help, they're excited. But I'm not really trilled with the possibility of her moving in here. I know I'm being selfish, but this house is already full with the five of us. plus our very loud dog.

Aren't they adults? I mean, can't they find just an apartment for themselves? I can help buy clothes and diapers for them, but I just don't think I'm ready for a baby to actually live here with us.

I guess we'll see how this will turn out.
