...is going to be a daddy, which means I'm going to be Aunt Katie!!! Finally! He and his wife called me this afternoon to tell me. I'm so excited!!! They're still very early (not telling her employer yet), so they'll be due sometime in the fall.

Being an auntie is the best - you get to spoil them and send them home to Mom.  I'm the "cool" auntie because I send stuff in the mail at random times to my nephew.  He's 10 now, and we have the funniest conversations on the phone!

I'm already working on spoiling him/her. I started crocheting a blanket the day after I heard the news. Not that they'll need it, they live in Arizona!! Anyway, it's payback time...my son is 9, and my brother has been great at spoiling him whenever they're together.

Oooo, that's wonderful. Being an auntie is the best (I'm auntie to my brother's four year old, and a sort of adopted auntie to a five year old neighbour)!
