Tomorrow I get to meet my nephew for the first time.
He is my only nephew, and will be my only nephew. My sister will not have kids, and my sister-in-law doesn’t plan to have any more, so he is my only chance to be an aunt. I’m very thankful for that chance.
I am excited! I’m also realizing it’s been a loooooong time since I hung out with a baby under one. Even my cousins’ kids are all toddlers by now. I think I might be a little nervous. My son is only five, but four years is a long time…
{Reconfiguring the car seat to face backwards and fit a 9-month-old was such a pain in the ass! – I’m so glad I’m done with rear-facing car seats!}
They are only in town for a couple days, so we won’t see them much, but they’ll be back for Christmas, and I’m really excited for that.
I have a really great relationship with many of my aunts, so I’m really excited to have a special relationship with my nephew. I can’t wait to meet him, and hug him and snuggle him! (And then give him back to his mom when it’s that time!)
How exciting! Like you, I have only one nephew (and no nieces); he recently turned 12. He is very special to me. 🙂
Lovely 4 you all!
How fun! I’m a chosen aunt- my husband and I are both only children- but I’m a very involved aunt to my best friend’s 3 kids, and it’s incredibly special to me. In fact, Niece #1 was home last weekend fearing evacuation from Camp Fire and was telling me how I’m “stuck with them” and that she can’t remember a birthday or anything else important I’ve ever missed. I guess I must not be failing at aunting! LOL Have fun with the baby!!!
