Before becoming an aunt, you're obviously stoked, but no one tells you all the things to follow!
1. You buy every cute clothing item you see.
This onesie, that dress . . . They must have it all in every size, pattern, and color. In every store you head straight to the section hosting their size. You buy so much it's a borderline addiction.
2. You talk about your niece/nephew ALL THE TIME.
"Are you talking about her AGAIN?" Yes, because she is obviously the best thing since sliced bread.
3. You take an unheard of amount of pictures.
I mean babies change practically every 10 minutes . . . which warrants at least 100 pictures per visit, right?
4. You fight family members in order to hold that precious angel.
You haven't met her yet? Well, sorry, I haven't seen her since last night so I need to hold her ASAP.
5. You constantly wonder what your niece or nephew is doing and ask for pictures way too frequently.
Is she in that outfit I bought her? Oh, yes, please send pictures . . . multiple, at least 5.
6. You will never be the same.
You cannot imagine life without that little bundle of joy. You hope the best for them, you love them, you spoil them, and you pray for them daily. You look forward to watching them grow, change, make goals, and pursue them. You embrace the compulsive buying and the million pictures because that sweet baby is worth it all and more.
