MrsL2014

Just talked to my uncle on the phone and he told me my aunt is expecting!!! They had a hard time trying to get pregnant for awhile and last year they had twins so I am very excited to hear she is pregnant again. This is cousin # 26 for me!

I cant wait to meet the baby!

Thank you! And yes, lots and lots of them. I have 9 aunts and uncles, 18 if you include their spouse. And cousins age range from 30 to (-)8 months. :)

[QUOTE]Suddenly I'm realizing, for the first time in my life, that I have absolutely NO CLUE how many cousins I have.

Yeah, I started counting last year when we found out we were adding 9 babies to the family within a year, but only 3 babies were first cousins.

[QUOTE]I wouldn't even know where to begin counting cousins.  My dad has an extremely large family and we're not close to any of them.  I'm not sure I could even come up with names for all the aunts and uncles.

Yes, that would make things a bit hard. We know most of our family and we are very close to them. Which makes it super hard trying to end the guest list at only the great aunts and uncles. But both FI have very large families.

That's awesome that your aunt's expecting:)  I have a big family too (with lots of cousins and second cousins).  I am really close with most of them, and I feel like a lot of my cousins are as close as siblings.  I will have 3-4 cousins in my wedding, and I want to include most of my second cousins as readers, ushers, fg, rb, pass out bubbles, pull out the aisle runner, serve (Catholic ceremony), etc.  I would have to think about it and write it down to figure out how many cousins I have though:)

Yeah, I wouldn't know where to start either. Half of the family cut us off because my mother didn't marry Jewish. My dad's half cut us off because my mother is totally crazy. As adults, my sister and I have reached out and become close with some of our cousins. I just met one for the first time in May. Her teenage daughters asked a bunch of questions until they could figure out who the heck I was and why I was hanging out at their house.
