Yesterday my very first niece was born, and I got to see the whole thing. I have never been present at a birth before and even thought I have seen it a number of times on TV it’s just not the same.
My twin sister who I love with all my heart was fantastic doing something that when you think about seems impossible. She gave birth to a healthy and amazingly beautiful baby girl. I took picture after picture of this lovely baby and I found myself crying. I don't cry a lot it's hard for me I don't want to be to girlie but this was just too much for me. Here was someone that I was going to be able to talk too, play with, get to know what she likes and doesn't, know the secrets she does not want to tell her mother. I had never felt this before; right here was a life just waiting to move forward.
All of this just made me feel all the more how much I want to have children of my own. To have all of that and for it to be my baby I just can't think of how it would feel. Thank you to my niece for giving me this chance.
