So as I said, I would write another blog about this past weekend so here it is! I am now an aunt! My sister had her baby Friday night and it was so good to finally be an aunt, which makes me feel old but is super cool.

When I first got to the hospital I didn’t even want to be in the delivery room. I’ve seen way too many pregnancy scenes from movies. I expected my sister to be in tons of pain and crying and all sweaty and gross, but it wasn’t like that at all. My mom convinced me to go in pre-baby and just let my sister know that I was there. We had atleast 10 people in there before she went into full labor, which I guess I thought was against the rules? The delivery room was nothing like I thought. It was super zen and calm. It literally looked like a bedroom. There was a closet, a tv, recliners, tables for if you wanted to eat in there, and the floors were even wooden. It almost looked like a nice hotel room. I always imagined that It would look like a doctors office; everything sterile and white. So that was definitely strange. And also, my sister looked like her normal self. After her epidural, she was in absolutely no pain, even when she started to push. It was just nothing like the horror stories or movies that I had seen.

So yeah, and then my nephew came. I never thought I could love a newborn so much! Especially since new babies kind of freak me out. They are just so little and fragile and it makes me nervous to even hold them. Right when I saw him, I just loved him so much. It was such a cool experience. I’m sure if any of you have nieces or nephews, you understand. Let me tell you, nothing is more inspiring than seeing a newborn. (As weird as that sounds…) What a little miracle. It just made me want to try and be the best person I could be; the best aunt, just basically the best ME.
