Hi, two months later-- baby gush
Hey all. This entry is purely baby ramble and shit.
My sister, Nicole, is having her baby (boy) in two weeks. I think that's nearly 4 weeks earlier than full-term. Anyway, my mother's been in Tokyo, so, Dodie (baby daddy)'s Aunt is throwing the baby shower this coming Saturday. Which, is a week before delivery. Anyway...
It's been very... hmm bitter sweet, I suppose you can say. Nicole was pretty much "disowned" because of how much my family was against her having this baby. But, Nicole was 18 by then and it was purely her choice. Nic began contacting me, then finally contacted my mother, and we all spent her 19th birthday together. It was nice. But actually completely weird to see my little sister pregnant. I mean, if I think about it 19 isn't THAT young "these days". But... it's just Nic's been through so much, and never learned from any of her mistakes and even her reasoning for keeping the baby was purely... stupid. But... what's done is done, and we're trying to get her on the right track with getting her to pass her GED, get her a driver's license (Dodie has been driving ILLEGALLY! and my mother is concerned about having Tristan in the car), blah blah blah. With the type of family Dodie has (mother's ex-stripper, drug addict, had a baby in jail, two aunts with house arrest anklets, father's fucking mother's sister... etc) and with Dodie and Nicole's records and life experience, it's going to take a lot of outside help... which kind of leaves our family to have to be "the normal ones" We'll see how it goes. I'm actually kind of excited to be an aunt and to love a new little baby.
I totally have had the baby blues for awhile now. Meeting a lot of cute babies. Haha. The only thing stopping me from getting preggos is the fact I'm not finished with school and have my own good income. Haha. Oh, and the fact that I don't have a husband/serious boyfriend. ha.
ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!! So, I went baby shower shopping. Which ALWAYS makes me so fucking, god damned emotional! Hahaha. EVERYTIME. I was thinking, "aw, I want a baby" and kind of thinking how Nicole could have had so much more with her life, but now it's going to be so difficult for her. But anyway... next will be a cut for all the cute shits I got Nicole/Tristan! I went a little overboard in spending... ha.
Cutest fucking shoes ever. I want some in my size.
Some of the boring stuff
EPIC FAIL AT WRAPPING! I'll have to think of something else...
It's so good that baby bears are great for human babies. I love baby bears. Hahha.
