Just had a good hour-long chat with my sister, who is 8 months along and lives in...Australia. I saw her at 3 months for my wedding but haven't gotten to feel her baby kick or anything. I don't know what people did before Skype...at least I'm getting to see her belly grow, and she took me on a video tour of the nursery. I cried when she played the mobile!
This is her first, and I can't believe my baby sister is going to be a mommy...and I can't be there. We're going over there about a month after the birth though, so I have that to look forward to. She's talking me down off the ledge while I go through the trying and waiting thing. So I will have her for lots of my questions and to try everything out first!
Re: Thankful for my sister
Very sweet.
I'm thankful for my sister too. We are twins and she just had her first about 2 weeks ago after trying for 2 years. I'm learning everything I need to know for prep through her and it's amazing

BFP #3 10/02/12 EDD 06/11/13 Please stick baby! Stick!
That must be so hard! My best friend lives 10 hours away and just gave birth about 3 weeks ago, and it KILLS me that I wasn't close to her for her pregnancy, and that I haven't met her LO yet. I don't have a webcam, but I will definitely have to investigate.
Congrats to your sister, and good luck to her for a quick labor and healthy baby next month!
This post made me tear up a little bit. My sister is my best friend in the entire world. We've only been apart when she went off to college and I soon joined her (same college) about 3 years later. May sound crazy but she is definitely my right hand-girl.
She knows we're trying and doesn't ask too many questions. When we had a BFP back in August (turned into a chemical pregnancy) she bought me a baby toy, What to Expect, and a card. I keep it in my closet, way in the back, ready to bring it out and give it to her if/when we get a BFP again.
Anyway, we live about 5 minutes apart. She told me last week that her boyfriend (soon to be fiance - although she doesn't know yet) got his dream job offer and they're moving across the country in June. I'm so so sad. I can't imagine going through anything without her - especially having a baby. Not to discount my husband but you know.
I can't handle it at all right now. Sisters are so special, its a bond I will treasure forever.
