So yesterday was the day I went back to the dress store to try on the two dresses I was deciding between (I knew in my heart which one it was, but I had to try them both on again). The first time, I went with my mom, my sister, and my closest friend. FSIL (FI's sister) asked me if she could come next time, so I invited her to this outing, as well as my SIL (my brother's wife) and my FSIL (my other brother's fiancee). That went well and I got the dress. Yay!
When I first invited everyone to come, my oldest brother (the married one) suggested that we all go out to eat afterwards. I thought that was weird and would be really expensive (and figured my mom would end up having to foot that bill, which would not be cool), so I suggested that the boys all go to my mom's house while we shop (it's like five minutes away from there) and when the girls get back, we'll get pizza. I ordered the pizza and before I left, my mom announced that she had one more hanukkah present to give everyone. She gave all the girls a box and all the boys an envelope and said we all had to open it at the same time.
Inside the box were chocolates and on them it said You're Going 2B An Aunt. I FREAKED OUT. I AM SO EXCITED AND I CANNOT TELL ANYONE IN REAL LIFE BECAUSE IT'S TOO EARLY IN THEIR PREGNANCY BUT I AM SO EXCITED I CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF. It's their first kid and we've all been so excited for this moment and I JUST CANNOT DEAL AHHHHHHHHH.
Oh, the boys' cards said SAY UNCLE (because that's what you're going to be). That was cute, too.
Okay, that's the whole story. I just want to shout it from the rooftops but will settle for yelling it at you guys for now!!!!
Edited because box and boy are different words.
ETA: Also, this makes 2016 the most exciting year ever, because new baby, plus my wedding AND my other brother's wedding. Our poor little sister is like well now I look like a slacker. But she's only a college sophomore so it's not like she's legitimately left out. It's just funny. Woo family!
