We have left behind February, and have now entered Baby Month. I know, I know. You thought it was March. It’s actually Baby Month. You see, my friend Carolyn (who the bag elephant bag was for) is having her little boy today, and Knut’s brother’s wife (Kristin) is having her twins this month. They won’t let her go past March 16th (my birthday) so it’s just a countdown there.
My sister, Heidi, will most likely have her twins this month.
Have you followed? That would be 4 nieces/nephews this month. And then there’s Tony and Carolyn’s baby arriving probably as I’m typing this (who will techniqually be my second-and-third-cousin-once-removed-in-law) who we’ll probaby just say “like a nephew” for short. That sounds way more tight than “second-and-third-cousin-once-removed-in-law”. Heck, “my friends’ kid” sounds more tight than that!
Prepare to see many announcements, read many squeals, and see many giddy typos.
I’m so excited. SO SO excited. How many people, get to have twin nephews and twin nieces born in such a short time frame? I mean, with those stats, it’s almost staggering that Knut and I don’t have twins! Well, Silje and David felt like twins, so that will probably be it.
We currently have 3 nephews. By the end of the month, it’s likely we’ll have 5 nephews and 2 nieces. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it! It’s so tough to think about because unfortunately, both Heidi and Kristin live states away, and we haven’t been able to see them pregnant that much, except through the wonders of the internet. It will be so hard to know that they are here, and not hold them. To know that we may have to wait months to see them.
I think that the distance is one of the hardest aspects of life on the farm. To not be close to my sister, and to not know my sister in law as much as I wish I could. (She’s one of those people where you know you’d be best friends if you could actually find time to get together with, but you never have the time?)
Anyway, I’m just rambling now. I just realized, after all the craziness of the Birkie, and the craziness of the store opening, that we’re in March.
Ahem.
I mean Baby Month.
