There are no words to explain my excitement and the amount of joy I have in my heart for both my baby sister and her husband. I only have one sibling, hence another reason this means so much to me. I can't even describe the feeling I get when I talk about this or mention it to other people. I also can't imagine my sister being pregnant or with a big belly. Ahhhh, the joy of seeing her progression in the coming months, even if it is primarily through Facebook. LOL. She knows Ryan and I love her - she knows her nieces, Francesca and Jessica love her. We are all happy for her and her husband.Just to explain where I'm coming from, I'd like to share a little of what this means to all of us...
When I was with my previous partner of 4 years he had two beautiful baby girls, Francesca and Jesssica, whom he had with his ex-wife, Debbie. I became an instant parent overnight, helping them with schoolwork, dance recitals, swim meets, and even coached their soccer teams; I continued to do so even after my relationship with David was over. Then I met Ryan and the girls just kept getting older and older and before you knew it, they were both in High School. The oldest, Francesca, just had her 16th birthday and got her driver's permit within the last 2 months. Last month my parents drove up from Corpus Christi to Houston for Francesca's birthday party. And even though they may not see Francesca and Jessica but twice a year, they know they are loved as Grandparents, and will forever be a part of their lives. The girls are their first grandchildren through my relationship with David, but baby Fasnacht (my brother in law's surname) will be their first grandchild by birth.
Ryan and I plan to have our own children someday, and soon there will be many more grandchildren, who knows, but one thing is certain... nothing can beat the joy of raising a child. I've had my chance and now my sister will get hers. What a blessing this is.
Ryan and I love you baby sister; may God watch over you and Luther in the coming months. We pray He help guide you and keep you healthy as you bask in the joy of this beautiful pregnancy.
And thank God there will be no more "May" Babies!!! LOL

Peteroo .. you always have a way with words ... LOL !! I knew you would throw in the MAY Birthday in there somewhere... LOL ! You made me cry as you always do. You are going to make the best uncle only a sister could hope for. That was very sweet. I can't wait to see you guys :) ♥
Congratulations!!!!
We can't wait to see you too Vicky-pooh. And thank you all for the well-wishes. :-)
It will be a very interesting, slightly different but such a beautiful thing to be an uncle, as I imagine it will be the same, and then some, to have children of our own one day as well. Love you bunches my love. I have already seen how such a great parent you can be. The girls are fortunate to have so many loving parents in their lives, but I'm sure they'll always remember what wonderful times they shared with their Papa Pete. I can't wait to see what an amazing job you'll do with our kids as they turn form babies into young adults and as we turn from partners into parents. It will happen one day, my love, I promise. You will have the joy of being a father again, one day.
You're so wonderful and sweet, my love. I'm thankful everyday to have you in my life. I love you and you'll be a superb Uncle Ryan :-)
OMG! That is fantastic. Couldn't happen to a better family.
Carne Quisada for EVERY ONE!!!
@ Debbie, thank you so very much. You've been an amazing mother to the girls. Above and Beyond!
@ David, no carne guisada for you, but thank you though :-) j/k
