Re: my sister's GF got a BFP

  • Congrats, you're going to be an Auntie!

    I think that's normal too. I know that our pregnancy won't be as exciting b/c our children won't be their first either. sigh.

  • That is great for them!  And completely normal for you.  I don't even talk to my mom but when I found out my brother and his fiance got pregnant before me (only by 3 months but they're young) I was upset that I wasn't the first being that I actually am a grown up who is married, saved, and doesn't take freebies...they try so I'm cool now but still it stung a little

  • Congrats to your sister and her partner.  I get being sad.  I think it is totally normal.
  • I'm gonna say normal.  Granted, I didn't originally feel this way.  My brother had his kids when I was 11 and then 16 so I had no real thought re: kids anyway back then.  When J's sister had her first, we were barely married and not even thinking of kids yet, so again I didn't care.  I feel differently now tho - seeing that SIL's kids get preferential treatment (mainly the first born).  *sigh* C'est la vie. 

  • Congrats to them!

    And it is completely normal.  When my little sister got pg right out of high school I was majorly stung.  It didn't matter that I was only 20, in a brand new relationship (with future H), and nowhere near ready to have kids myself.  I was not going to have the first grandchild (or even the 2nd).  So I prayed that we would get to have the first grandSON, and we did.   Don't beat yourself up about.  You aren't the first to feel this way. 

  • Totally normal. Congrats on being an aunt!

  • Congrats! Being an Aunt is the best!

    And yes, totally norml. My brother & SIL had the first Grandchild.. I always thought it would be me.. Then they had the 2nd just 4 months before I had my son. My parents now have 5 Grandchildren unfpder the age of 4.. And each and every one of those babies is so exciting and thrilling to them.. Grandchildren make their grandparents nuts... I shouldn't have worried at all...
