It's almost time!!

I am living in a constant state of semi-anxiety lately--not for any bad reasons, I promise! My baby brother (you all can laugh, he's going to be 31 next month, lol) and his wife are getting ready to have their first baby! My first nephew (and my mom's first grandchild) is due to come into the world on August 5th. So, really, in the next few weeks, sis-in-law could go into labor at any time.....I am excited to be an aunt, and I know my big brother is excited--for example, I got to his house to meet up with the fam to head to the baby shower, and heard him saying something along the lines of, "....and then they need to have a girl next, so I can buy a pony and she will have to come to my house to ride the pony...." WTF big bro? They haven't even had the first one!! And big bro and his wife aren't having kids, so it's like he's hitching his pony-dreams on baby brother--It is very cool to see both brothers embrace this. My dad is super-excited, I'm not sure about my step-mom, and my mom is over the moon about it--she made me find out what hospital, then look up hotels around the hospital so we can go when labor starts (or whenever he calls us) since we both live about 3 hours from them.....
I know that baby brother is going to be a great father (he's already a great husband!) Any way, my nephew will be Warren S. and will be here NOT SOON ENOUGH!
(The only sucky part about this is that ALL of the family is now saying, "so when are you going to have one? your clock's ticking, you don't have much time, etc etc etc..." What do you say to that that doesn't scream "WTH people!" Not so much fun to be the only daughter, unmarried and unattached in this situation--weirdly enough, my mom asked me initially if I was 'upset' that it wasn't me having a baby!!!! I responded with a very respectful, "Back up off that crack pipe, Mom!")
All joking aside, despite the awkward conversations about me that Warren's birth will bring, I am also over-the-moon about having a new baby in the family. And so proud to see my brother (both of them really) be the kind of dad they both wanted to have--my eyes are getting misty just thinking about it.

And since I don't have any good family photos, I will leave you with a pic of BooBoo. And keep you updated on the baby!
