To be absolutely stupid with excitement?!

[Thisnamechanger]

I come from a tiny family. The last baby in our family was me, 31 years ago.

Today is SILs due date. My wonderful DM died shortly after their wedding in 2016 and this feels like the first good thing to happen to our family since.

Help me out MN! I'm child free and I'm not sure I've ever ever held a baby on my life but I'm STUPIDLY excited about becoming and Auntie!!

Have text SIL and DBro and said I totally understand they may want days or weeks alone with DNorN before inviting visitors but that I've kept the diary clear for potential visits in January.

AM. so. EXCITED.

What shall I bring baby? And more importantly SIL?? Any idea for a nice present for a new Mum??

Arrrrrggghhhh!

Yay!!!!! He's here!!!!!
Congratulations auntie!!!!!! X

Awwwwwwwweeeeee 💙

Congratulations op it's so exciting becoming an auntie for the first time.
My budget was alot lower than yours but I got a baby themometer, cuddly toy, wipes for baby and mom got alcohol and chocolate.

Aw congratulations OP

Massive congratulations OP.
U are so sweet and thoughtful, they're all very lucky to have u.

I read though the posts with a big smile on my face, so nice to read about someone who is so excited for someone else.

Look forward to seeing the gift box and I second (third, fourth ect) take food when u visit

Enjoy your beautiful nephew x

Huge congrats to all (esp DSil). Enjoy your baby squishes OP

This thread has made me smile from ear to ear 😁

Congrats to you and the new parents.

Ah welcome to the world wee boy!!

Congratulations OP and of course to your DB and DSIL, you sound like you're going to be an amazing auntie!!

Lovely update . Congratulations to your DSIL and DB. Enjoy being an auntie .

One of the best things I had was a magazine subscription. Easy to read when feeding, didn’t take to much concentration and lots of pictures to look at!

If they don’t already have it subscription to Netflix or amazon prime. Great for box sets to watch whilst late night feeding!

What a lovely thread! You all made me smile. Congratulations OP xx

Congratulations! Hope DSIL is doing well as well. Enjoy being an auntie OP!

Congratulations! What sweet thread!

Oh and the baby gross with a train on (DBro is a traindriver)

Not gross!

Oh and a Standard from the day he was born. They can chuck that if they don't want it.

That's perfect and I love that babygro.

Congratulations!

That's a great gift! I'd have really loved to receive that after baby arrived.
