I'm going to be an UNCLE!

I'm beside myself giddy ~ Sissy is having a little BOY!

Not only is she having a boy, I called it! Everyone (and I mean just about the rest of the whole world between here and the Tennessee line) thought it was going to be a boy. Conversations that were held after the phone started ringing were cracking me up.

Me & Sissy:
me ~ WHAT IS IT?!?!
Sissy ~ A baby.
me ~ no, what is the smurf? (it was the size of a blueberry when she told me she was preggers. We have a tradition that the baby gets a nickname based on the object. Case in point, friends have a Newton because he was the size of a fig when they made the announcement)
Sissy ~ IT'S. A. BOY!
Brother-in-love ~ WOOO HOOO!!! (loudly, in the background)
me ~ So, y'all get to pick: Hunter Smurf, Farm Smurf or Golf Smurf (to make sure I hit on all hobbies)
Sissy relates this to BIL
BIL ~ Hunter Smurf!

and thus, my nephew (eek! weird to say) will forever more be "Hunter Smurf!"


Me & Momma
me ~ Hello?
Momma ~ Well? (awkward pause)
me ~ Well, what?
Momma ~ Aren't you going to say "I told you so?"
me ~ Nope, you already know I was right.

Me & K-dawg
me ~ Hey!
K ~ How are you feeling?
me ~ (avoids question) Sissy and BIL called, it's a boy!

K then posts on Sissy's FB "This means I'll be an uncle, right? Good - I didn't want to be an aunt." Gotta admit, the boy's got jokes. Just one of the eighty eleven reasons why I love him!

So, let the spoiling begin! Already scoping out camouflage baby stuff and baby boy invites for a shower. Glad Sissy and I had the smocking discussion this weekend, she's cool with it up until about age 2. Guess what I'm going to be scoping out at consignment and thrift stores?

And, thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. I've got an appointment with a specialist tomorrow afternoon and hope to know answers and have relief soon. I have the faith that it will all be better soon.

And, K-dawg is having a tooth ache and is going to need a root canal this week. We're just a mess around these parts.

Hope y'all have had a great day; my heart goes out to those in Tennessee/Arkansas and along the Gulf. And, full of praise that the Times Square situation was an incident that wasn't worse!
