Wow, I had so much fun when my aunt and cousin (A) and his daughter was home, I can't even explain! My mom's family rocks! She's one of 7, 6 girls, 1 boy and she's the youngest. She (and my dad) have the biggest house out of all the siblings so when her sister in Wisconsin is home to visit (all the other sisters live within an hour from us and the brother lives in WV and never comes home) we all hang out at her house. She's also the only one with a pool and all my cousin's kids just love that. I think there was at least one person in the pool for at least 12 hours a day. Now 2 of my other cousins live about an hour away each (near Philly) and they both have in ground pools so they are starting have some parties at their house too which is lots of fun!
Another cool thing was while they were home last week we found out A's fiance is having a GIRL!! She's due November 25th and their daughter (who is 8) is just Thrilled to have a baby sister.
All the baby talk and being around all my cousins kids for the week was a blast! We just had so much fun, I swear someone put a kid magnet in my bathing suit though, at one point I had 6 kids hanging off of me. I turn into a big kid when I'm around them though, it's so fun to just play for hours on end and not worry about the phone or paying bills or what time it was.
But I did have a meltdown on thursday night. My one aunt was drunk and she was taking to Chris about boy scouts and talking about how our son will be in boy scouts and our daughter will be in girl scouts and he'll be there with them at camp and on an on and on.....and I just shut down, she saw my face just fall. I couldn't hide it. I just couldn't handle hearing her talk about kids that I don't have. I know Chris will be awesome with them and is really looking forward to doing that kind of stuff with them....it was just hard to hear. She wasn't saying "when you have kids" she was saying "your kids will do____ when they grow up", making i sound like I'm already pg or have kids or something. Anyway, she didn't even know we're TTC but I couldn't hide the sadness so she pulled me aside and I told her why hearing her talk like that hurt me and why I was sad. We ahd a little heart to heart, a little cry and it was all good. I know she wasn't doing it on purpose and I'm glad she didn't call me out in front of the rest of the family to make me tell her why I was sad. So all in all it wasn't too bad.
