I love mine. They can make me mad, but I love them.

Ever since I can remember, I have wanted little sisters. And all I got? Were little brothers. Five times, I got little brothers. I cried when we learned that Hewitt was a boy.

And then Mom got pregnant again, and she decided to have this baby at home. And we were not going to find out whether it was a boy or a girl. I was sure that it was going to be a boy. I just knew it. We were going to have a Icarus, Isaac or Issachar. (Or Issaboat, or Issaplane. The boys could not decide which method of transportation they were going to name their new brother after. LOL).

And then it was February 23rd, and the baby was coming! We called my piano teacher to come and keep the boys upstairs. I stayed downstairs, reading “Carry On Mr. Bowditch” and waiting to help with anything. I heated hot socks, and went back to reading. And I heated the hot socks again, and went back to reading. Then Mrs. Cox (the midwife) called me to come get the hot sock quickly. I heated it up as fast as I could, and brought it to the door. Mrs. Cox grabbed it out of my hands, and shut the door quickly. I went back to the couch, but I did not read. I listened.

And in about 20 seconds, I heard a baby cry. I waited for about a minute before I went and knocked at Mom and Dad’s door. When Mrs. Cox let me in, I went and crawled up on the bed. Mom had the baby snuggled up to her chest. I said, “A boy?” And Mom told me they had not looked yet.

Then she asked me if I wanted to look.

I said no. There was no way I was going to look and see that it was a boy. No sir, not me!

So Dad looked. And then looked again.

“Any guesses?”

“It’s a boy…” I said, and I got really close to crying. Then Dad said, “Nope!”

And all I could do was stare.

And then I snuggled up close to my mom, and my baby sister.

I had a sister. 🙂 To say I was happy would have been understatement. I was ecstatic. To be sure, I was not so ecstatic when Indigo kept me up at night, but I was still happy.

I was trying to find some pix of the two of us when she was a baby, but no such luck. I found a couple cute ones though!
