My sister is pregnant

And told me via text message with a picture of a digital test. I'm not quite sure how to process this right now. I know I should be happy, but I'm just not. Not yet anyway. I guess I didn't want to share the baby thing just yet.

I know this is horribly selfish, and I don't feel angry. I just don't really feel anything.

Edited to add: I think she's going to be due right around their first birthday. This is just the icing on the cake.

I'm off to try to stop being a big brat right now.

  1. I'm so sorry, Dawn. I would feel the same way. I feel like I will never be "okay" with how easily motherhood happens for everyone else - even after we are blessed with a baby.

    (((hugs))) to you.

  2. Don't feel like a brat. All of us feel this way now and then, especially for those who don't work like we did to get there {{{HUGS}}}
