Lucky # 13

I'm lucky enough to be an Aunt for the 13th time this year!! My younger sister is expecting her first child and will find out in a few weeks the sex of the baby. It's really exciting, and disappointing at the same time. I guess I was always somewhat jealous that my older brother was able to do so many things first, and now, even my lil sis is passing me in motherhood. I really wish that she had waited 5+ more years before having her 1st child, not because I haven't had any children yet, but because she is so young. I don't know that she fully understands that her life will NEVER be the same. She will give up so much of her own life and experiences because of her little one coming. That may sound selfish, but I'm so glad that I haven't had children of my own yet. I'm glad that I have been able to travel a little and do some of the things that will be restricted once parenthood comes along.
