Surprise Announcement

So this is not about me.... My youngest brother just called me to tell me that him and his fiancee are pregnant. They are getting married in October, and this does put a little kink in their massive wedding plans, but he is over the moon. I was totally caught off guard when he told me. This is the first grandkid on my side of the family, and since we're SO close to doing our FET, I thought we were a shoe in to be the first! Nope....

I'm 33, and he's 26. We've been trying for over three years, and his was an oopsie. I'm not unhappy, in fact I'm very happy to be an aunt again (we have a niece on Chad's side), but I'm not going to lie, I cried my eyes out when we hung up. Seriously, we're like a week away from FET! Oh well, I've cried, I've ranted on here, now I'm going to move on and be happy for them, and hope that we get our BFP in a couple weeks. :)

Thanks Kandi. I'm happy for them. He's going to be a great dad, and I knew they wanted to try immediately after the wedding anyways. I was just in shock since I was hoping we'd be making the next announcement....lol. Oh well, God has it all planned out for us.

Ur gonna love their baby either way, and having cousins so close in age is perfect! My cousin and I were very close and only 27 days apart...bestfriends growing up!!

Yes I feel much better this morning. I'm very excited for them! I knew I was being selfish last night, and I woruld never ever say any of those things to my brother! I have a cousin who is 6 months younger than me and we grew up very close. Her and her husband are some of our closest friends and they are now expecting twins, numbers 4 and 5! My brother, unfortunately, lives 12 hours away, but we'll still see them as often as possible. Thanks for the cheering up ladies. I'm very excited, and I know my parents are crazy excited. They've wanted grandkids since I turned 20 lol! Our circle is about to explode with babies. My sister in law is due in June, cousin is due with twins in October, best friend is due in November, and now other sister in law is due in January. Babies everywhere lol!
