Swann Baby 2.0

Since my sister and her husband have made it "Facebook official", I am so excited to announce the Swann's are becoming a family of 4 - 6 if you could Sooki and Potato (yes, that's really her dogs name).

My secret wish is that Meredith will have a baby sister to look up to her the way I did with her Mom. Though the large and overwhelming part of me that wants a little boy of my own is hoping that my future Beavan baby will have a boy cousin to play in the dirt with.

My sister announced her pregnancy on Thanksgiving at our home in a card to me (she had announced to my parents a week early for my Mom's birthday), it was very sweet and I was instantly excited as I knew they were ready for baby #2 and trying. My sister waited to get pregnant until after my wedding after a few not so subtle hints that I wanted to PAR-TAY for my wedding with her the way we did for hers. Well, being the fertile mertile she is, it took a whole 4 hours of us being married and poof... preggo. It's ridiculous really. She gets pregnant on not just her own honeymoon, but mine.

She must have a thing for birthday announcements as well, Meredith was announced at mine and baby TBD was announced to our Mom on hers. What a special way to remember that birthday.

On my 22nd birthday Justina announced her 1st pregnancy with a card that said "Something positive to make your birthday great", I lost it then and there... inside a baggie was a pregnancy test that was positive. It was a fun way to find out (after all, nothing says "happy birthday" like a urine stick for a gift - kidding). I really loved finding out that way and every time I reminise about birthdays, that one stands out as easily one of the best.

My sister INSISTS they do not need a baby shower, that they were too spoiled with Meredith and they need nothing but as we all know too well - I don't listen.

I am brainstorming for the perfect baby "sprinkle", and what better theme... than SPRINKLES!

Here is my inspiration:

I love being an Aunt, along with wife, sister and friend it's one of the best titles in the world and I cannot wait to see what July 9th has in store for the Swann clan!
