This week for no particular reason I have been feeling particularly overwhelmed.
I'm not sure if it's because I had to go into work early,
or because I'm counting the days until I get to meet my niece,
or even a combination of the two.
I will say, my reaction to 'Aunthood' was totally different than I had predicted.
I'm overwhelmed, proud, and infatuated with a little girl I haven't even met.
She's melts and captures my heart all at the same time.
If I could describe myself this week, it'd be emotional.
My least favorite word, maybe ever (second to these words, of course).
It associates it's stereotypes of women that I'd like to think I don't meet,
even though I know I am wrong.
So next week will be better, hopefully I'll be less emotional,
and then Saturday morning I'll be holding the most precious girl in my arms.
I can't wait.
P.S. I just bought these for a wedding we are going to at the end of this month.
They were a steal, use GREAT for an additional 15% off.
Becoming an aunt was seriously the best experience- niece #1 is now 2 1/2 and niece #2 just came earlier this week. But the love you can feel for those little ones, before they even come- its amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI was a mom before I was an aunt but I loooove my sister's baby so much. I had one of the best Aunts on the planet growing up. She really enriches my life
