Happy birthday baby sis!

Just a mini update for all of my faithful readers (haha). I am 15 weeks this week! So exciting to to know that in just a short time, I will be holding a beautiful bundle of joy. Last night, I had a dream that we had a baby boy with beautiful dark brown hair. In my dream, I woke up that next morning to find him snuggled up in his blue blanket sleeping away. I picked him up, went to make some coffee (i don't drink coffee), and read a newspaper on the porch (i don't really read the newspaper either). What a strange dream...and all I can remember about it was that the baby had a lot of dark brown hair. I wonder why I keep dreaming about having a baby boy...when I swear everyday it is a girl. Only time will tell. How many more weeks? ONLY TWO until I get to find out :). Well, we never really know for SURE until delivery, but we'll have a good guess.

I think my sister was supposed to be a boy for the longest time...surprise! Wow, I can only imagine how life would be so different if she really was born a boy. But, I am glad I have a baby sister. Did I mention today is her birthday? Happy birthday baby sister! I still remember the day she was born (or the night rather). I have a short little story to tell about my baby sister that I hope you will enjoy...
Before my mom was even pregnant, I was wishing for a baby sister. My grandmother and I used to break wishbones after dinner and whoever had the longest bone was to make a wish and then hide the bone in the dirt outside. Supposedly, the wish will come true. Well, one night after dinner, I broke the longest part of the bone and wished for a baby sister. I ran outside, dug a little hole for the bone, and wished again. I just knew the wishbone fairies would make my wish come true someday. And I didn't want a baby brother, only a sister. Well, a few months later my mom found out she was pregnant with a baby girl. I was convinced that the wishbone did the trick. I was so happy to find out that I was soon to be a big sister. I had no idea what that entailed, but I was certainly excited. 16 years later, I have a wonderful sister that I love very much. She is such a strong, beautiful young woman and I am very proud of how she has grown up. In just a year, she'll be graduating from high school. I can not believe that my little sister will be so old. I still remember her crawling around saying "da-da" and picking up bugs off the floor to eat. Her first word...was "ball." Haha. She is going to be a GREAT aunt, and I just know she'll spoil our baby so much. I love my little sister and I wish her a VERY happy birthday today! Sweet sixteen baby girl :)
