So in September there'll be a new addition to the family!! I'm actually quite excited about it to be honest, I think i've always wanted to be an uncle, it could be a test to see how I do around babies/children seeing as i'm not around kids at all. All of my cousins are grown up and they're having kids of their own but i'm not close enough with them to be a part of their lives. I see the photos but I don't know if i'd ever have the opportunity to actually see them, maybe it's because the the majority of them live in the country and i'd only get updates from them from my parents or just seeing it on Facebook.
I guess there's going to be a lot happening this year for us, some it expected like Helen's wedding and the weddings of two of my other friends weddings but now in September there'll be a baby!!
I really do need to book flights over to Wales now to see Fiona, I really won't have an excuse anymore, not that I had a legitimate excuse in the 6-7 years preceding. I could definitely be a better brother and I really hope I can be a good uncle to my niece or nephew, I just smiled saying those words so I guess it really is something to be excited about.
I'm looking forward to being able to spoil the baby and fawn over it, I never really knew I had that type of personality but I guess i've just never had the change to express that side of myself before. I guess we'll see how well I do with the new responsibilities at the end of the year, i'm hoping to be attentive and actually act like I actually care rather than just being emotionally unavailable, that might be the right term for how I act, apathetic could be the extreme end of the spectrum but I guess I could be further to that side than I want to be.
The first chance to see the baby in person will be at Christmas if not sooner. I wonder whether my sister will want my parents to be there for the birth or at least there to help out for a week or so whenever the baby does arrive.
