woo hoo! congrats!!!

[emiline]

Thanks! I'm excited. I like babies, especially when they don't belong to me. :)

[thecherrybomb]

hahaha, i feel exactly the same way!

My theory is that babysitting broke my biological clock. The best was seeing four 10-12 year old boys having an underwear fight; I totally lost any urge I may have had to have kids.

Hello, Auntie Em. =)

I was an Aunt, briefly, when I was still married to the ex. It was great. I miss being the Aunt and getting to play with my (ex) nephew and spoil him with gifts.

Enjoy!

Hello! :)

I'm looking forward to playing with my niece or nephew (it's too early to tell yet). I think I'd better get started on knitting the baby blanket I'm planning, since I have no idea how long it will take me. :)

[sandraregina]

I can knit now (yay), but not when I was an Auntie. I missed out on knitting things for my (ex) nephew. :(

Enjoy the baby blanket! And knitters unite and all that jazz...

"....means that my parents will stop asking me (their unmarried child) about having kids..."

Hahaha it will only stop briefly. ^^,

[emiline]

Sadly, I know. So I'll keep telling them to bug their married kids, and they'll maybe eventually realize that I mean it when I say I don't want kids.

ooh that's so exciting! being an aunt rules.

[emiline]

Awesome! :) I'm planning on starting to knit a baby blanket soon, since I have no idea how long it will take me.
