I found out on Friday that my sister is pregnant with her second child. She is due March 3rd (my birthday). I am super excited but am also a little upset. I am so excited to be an aunt again and for my little guy to have a cousin so close to his age to play with. I am upset because they concieved right after my LO was born even though they kept saying that they didn't want to try again for a couple of years. I feel like they didn't want the attention taken away from them. I am sure the closer the time comes the more excited I will be I was just hoping my LO could be the baby of the family for a little bit longer.
Re: my sister is pregnant
I'm sorry...but I really don't get why you're upset? This almost seems like a bride who gets upset because someone else she knows plans to get married the same year.
I'm happy that Stella is going to have other babies in the family and friends around the same age (DH's cousin had a baby a month before us, his niece is having a baby in September and several friends have had or will have babies within a few months of Stella.
It is quit possible that they truly meant that they didn't want to try again for a couple of years and this pregnancy is just as much a suprise to them as it is to you.
I only say this because DH and I had no intention of TRYING to get pregnant again until DS1 was 3. But DS2 was concived shortly after DS1's 1st birthday.
I do however know that when I announced my pregnancy a month after my Step-Cousin's wife announced her my aunt swore I did it to spit them....some people are just a-holes! (And I mean my aunt not my step-cousin or his wife...they are actually really nice)
They probably just got a little baby fever holding your precious little one and moved up their time line.
My SIL got pregnant right after we announced LO. She's due in September. I'm super excited that DS will have a cousin so close in age. Built in playmate at all family gatherings!
