Surprised during my surprise!

donna122 · May 2015

Time for a sweet story! I announced my pregnancy to most of my family over mothers day weekend. I was at my sister's house Sunday morning playing with her daughter while she slept after working night shift at the hospital. I thought it would be cute to have my niece, age 2, come in her room and wake her up with a sign that said "My Aunt says I am going to have a new cousin." When she saw the sign she started crying and said, "how far along are you?" I said 10 weeks. She responded with "well I'm 9 weeks!" My due date is 12/9 and she one week behind me! That was pretty exciting to hear but......it get's better! Her first ultrasound was this Monday. She came to my office afterward to show me the pictures. First she showed me baby A....then baby B! She is having twins! She is so sweet and said that she sorry because she feels like she is stealing my thunder because this is my first child. I told her that I could not be happier, how wonderful to have 3 new babies in our family at the same time!

3 new babies that close together is awesome. Last year my cousin announced just before me then my sister did shortly after I did. By Christmas last year we had 3 new ones. Born 5/7, 5/27, & 8/26

I think it is awesome that you are so excited for your sister and not "Mad" for her still your thunder!!

Wow that is so exciting!! Congratulations.

I am due 12/30 so I am waiting to tell close family until after our first u/s next week at 8 weeks. Just want to make sure that everything is ok first. Yesterday, my cousin, who has the exact same first, middle and last name as me (both of us married into the same last name) announced on Facebook they are expecting Dec 2015. It's their first and my second. I am not going to lie, I was a little creeped out at first because we share the exact same name and now babies. But I am excited too.

Edited because words are hard...

That's so fun! I hope to be pregnant at the same time as one of my sisters someday! However, one of the girlfriends I was pregnant with last pregnancy told me she is expecting another, too! She's about 3 weeks behind me. Our daughters are one month and 2 days apart! Round two!

I had been ttc for 10 months when we finally got BFP. I told my family and my sister found a 2 weeks later she was pregnant too. She didn't want to tell me for the same reason (steal my thunder). It was the best experience ever. Our kids were born 8 days apart and it was nice to have someone relate to everything (pregnancy symptoms, sleepless nights, breastfeeding). Made us even closer! Good luck!!

That's so exciting!!! My due date is 12/9 also! And my sister in law is a month ahead of me!!!!

My sister in law and I have been pregnant all three times together. It's perfect because cousins are built in best friends. I never understand when others post about how upset they are that someone close to them is also pregnant. When I get knocked up, I try to get everyone on the pregnancy train!
