Another one! (Baby fever heating up again...)
I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I found out that come September I'm going to have another nephew! (Well, I already knew Dawn was pregnant, obviously, but we just found out that it's a boy.) Dawn and Jason are frantic because, well, they had a girl's name all picked out. They've got a few months to go to find a boy's.
Heh, I scared my mom half to death while I was talking to Dawn about the ultrasound. We talked about babies and about baby names, and then started talking about how Justin likes to play on their computers. They were thinking about putting one of their old computers on a desk at his level, then realized that they'd given all their old computers away.
Dawn said, "So if you get a chance to upgrade yours with a new one, can we have the old one?"
I replied, "Definitely. I should have one here soon."
My mother, who could only hear half the conversation and didn't realize the topic had shifted away from babies, gave me a horrified look and said, "I hope not!" Hee.
Speaking of nephews, I'm astonished at how clearly Justin is speaking now. I told Dawn and Jason over the weekend, I thought I was going to miss it when he stopped calling me "Illy", but opening their door on Saturday and hearing, "Aunt Lisa's here!" was one of the warmest, fuzziest moments of my life. As an only child, I never really thought I'd be anybody's aunt, but here I am. It's a nice place to be.
