My Sis had a baby

[Bestcatmum]

My 49 year old Dsis finally had a baby she so desperately wanted after almost 30 years of trying. He is so precious.
We live far apart so she sends me loads of pics and everytime I see a new one I start crying because she looks so happy and I'm so happy for her.
I am not an emotional person at all and I look a complete wreck after all this crying. What the heck is wrong with me? AIBU to be so sentimental?

That's lovely. I know someone who had their child at 48. I would guess there's the joy of a new baby in the family and knowing how happy your sister is.

That’s wonderful OP, I am so pleased for your sister and I’ve never met her, so I can only imagine how you are feeling. Love a happy thread!

Congratulations auntie

That's really lovely! Carry on crying with joy, you've made me become watery and I don't know you 😂

It's called joy. Embrace it.

Delighted for her and you.

Ahhh, how lovely. Congratulations

Not at all, how lovely for you all. Dreams can come true

That's lovely, I'd be crying buckets too, OP.
Congratulations to all of you and happy auntying

You sound lovely, and congratulations to your sister - Christmas miracle

Tbh reading this made me cry. Pass the tissues!

That's wonderful. I have two friends who had their first babies at 48 (1) and 49 (2), after such a wait, it is so precious. I remember being slightly shocked but jumping about with happiness for them

Your reaction is perfectly expected! How lovely for your sister and your family. Don’t worry about being too emotional, just enjoy him!

Auntie congrats!

Thank you all. My own son is 40 and just about old enough to be his cousins grandfather. He is overjoyed too.

How refreshing to read something lovely for a change! Congratulations! Completely reasonable! Enjoy the piccies!

What a wonderful thing. You sound so happy for her - she must be on cloud 9.

I agree with a PP it's lovely to read something so wonderful! Congratulations to her! I can't imagine how much her heart must be overflowing with love!

Aw lovely. I’m 49 and can’t imagine having a baby now though so hats off to her! I’m sure she’ll be a great mother x congratulations
