I have something very exciting to tell you, and you're going to have to do without pictures, okay? Sorry, but I have none relevant to the subject. Just use your imagination.
Here goes:
My Sister the Goddess is pregnant, too.
I haven't told anyone that, and so that's exciting enough, right?
BUT. Here's the really funny and wonderful part of it:
We are due exactly one day apart from one another.
She is due to have her baby on October 12th; my due date is the 13th. Seriously, this is not a joke, and I still can't believe it, even though we've both known since sometime in early February.
This is how we found out: one Friday morning in February I took a pregnancy test that came out, as expected, positive. The Professor and I thought, oh, let's keep it quiet for a couple weeks this time, let's just enjoy this news ourselves. That evening, my sister called me and said, "Well, The Baby Goddess is going to have a little brother or sister!" And I said, "Congratulations! Um, me too."
We both shrieked for a couple minutes, then got down to business figuring out the timeline, at which point we discovered a few things: a) we had both found out on the same day; b) we had both likely conceived around the exact same time; and c) that meant that we were due at the same time. Whoa.
Seriously, it's like something out of a movie. And this week she saw her new doctor in her new town (because of course she moved very far away...sniff) and got an ultrasound and then called me and told me that I'm finally getting a NEPHEW. YAY. I mean, I love The Baby Goddess and I love my Junie B, but really, it is about time for some more boys around here.
So! That's our fabulously amazing news. Like I said, we've known for awhile, but I still have trouble believing it. My mother is over the moon, and I'm sure she's already working out how on earth she is going to lend aid to a daughter in town as well as to a daughter in Texas. I just wish my sister and I could be pregnant together, you know? It's hard to have her so far.
Oh, and I get my 18 week ultrasound in just under 2 weeks, and now that we know that she's having a boy, I am all the more excited to find out what new Case baby we have in store.
In conclusion, big hurrah!

Yay!!! That is SO exciting! I was pregnant with two of my sisters once and it was so fun! Yay for nephews! I love mine, but I am hoping next time either of them has a baby I'll finally get a niece!
Can't wait to hear about baby Case!
OH, and October 13 is a GREAT day for having a birthday! That's Elijah's birthday!
