It’s Twins!
Not for me, but for my amazing big sister, Erin. And they’re coming tomorrow! Erin is having a baby boy and girl via c-section tomorrow morning, so please send her good vibes for a safe delivery that ends with three healthy babes, mom included.
Erin made it to 38 weeks, and, based on her last ultrasound, each of the babies (we haven’t been told their names yet) are weighing in around 6 lbs each. That’s a lot of baby to be carrying around! Needless to say, she is very uncomfortable and ready to meet her son and daughter, as are the rest of us.
I haven’t blogged about this yet because typically, when it comes to life matters, I don’t feel like it’s my place to tell other people’s stories in such a public forum. But I’m just so excited, so I asked for permission to blab it on the Internet and it was granted.
Doesn’t she look incredible for a woman who has been carrying around TWO babies for the last 38 weeks?
My sister, being the eldest, has always been the one blazing a trail for me to follow. She’s the one who loosened up my parents for me, won over teachers before I landed in their classrooms, shared her clothing and music with me so I would have at least a chance at being cool, and in general, coached me on any life matter that I came to her with. In other words, she’s always gone first, and I’ve had the benefit of reaping everything she learned along the way. So I am so happy that now I finally have a chance to help and support her. To have been the one who went first so I could pass on maternity clothing and baby clothes and share any tidbits of wisdom I’ve picked up.
There’s one things I am completely certain of – she is going to be a wonderful mother. In so many ways, she has taken care of me, from holding my hand at night when I was scared to go to sleep, babysitting me, listening to my problems with boys and friends and life and so much more. I watch how she and her husband love my children, and it is so easy to see that they will be naturals.
I am so excited to have motherhood in common with her, and to watch our children grow up together and make memories together.
So, my sweetest, dearest Sis-tar. I love you. I love your babies. And I am endlessly here for you and for them. Good luck tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and counting down the minutes until your babies are in your arms.
Congratulations to you two! It’s amazing to watch your next generation grow up together and make memories together. Your article remind me of my sister, she is an indeed beautiful and delicate lady, i remembered i feel a little jealous when she got married, as i realized she is no longer belonged to me. But now i feel I’m so stupid to think about it, she has a happy family with nice husband and upcoming baby, i wish she would be more stronger and prepared to be a mother, i will love her forever~
