New Baby

New Baby The twenty-four hour period my niece, Hailey, was born was probably the most exciting day of my life. Being nine years old, the youngest of four, and knowing my florists chrysanthemum wasnt going to have any more kids I felt as if I was gaining a babe instead of a niece. I had been continuously asking my ma for a do by babe and the answer I received was always a no. It was a Sunday afternoon when my sister decided to sit the whole family down and make her big announcement. We could all tell she was nervous to theorise whatsoever it was she was going to grade.The look on her face and the way she was twiddling with fingers permit us know that whatever she had to say was going to be a huge deal. It took her a few minutes to finally rough drawing up the courage to thump taboo what she had to say, scarcely when she revealed to our family that she was expecting, I, unlike my parents, was ecstatic Everyone else just looked at her in disbelief, while I on the other han d looked at her with a giant smile on my face. Immediately, the first words that came out of my mouth was, Is it a boy or girl? hoping she said a girl of course.She looked at me confused, as if she was expecting me to be upset that there was going to be a indulge coming into our house to steal my baby of the family shine. That didnt matter to me though I just cute someone to be given with and to teach things to. I mean, I had older siblings to play with but the chances of playing dolls or kitchen with my older brothers was usually slim to none. As for my sister, well shes ten years older than me, so there wasnt much hope there either. I was already imagining all the bosom we could do.We would play dolls and house together, wed play in the tree house in the backyard, wed make forts out of blankets in the existing room, there was just so many things that I wanted to play but would end up doing alone. There wasnt much anyone else said, beside the forced-like Congratulations. My parents didnt say much at all, they werent thrilled at the idea of my sister having a child at eighteen but they as well didnt yell at her because they knew it wasnt going to change anything. Later that night my mom asked me, So what do you think about what your sister told us earlier? Im so hallucinating I replied, I cant wait to have someone to play with and do stuff with You know youre not going to get as much attention as you get now, right? She told me. Were not going to be able to buy you very many toys anymore, your sister is going to claim all the help she can get. I have to admit hearing I wasnt going to get any new toys was somewhat upsetting, but I got oer it. whole I wanted now was for my niece to arrive As my sister grew bigger and bigger so did my vehemence to finally see my baby niece.Nine months flew right by, and on February 15, 2002 my beautiful niece was born. Unfortunately I wasnt allowed to go to the hospital when she was born, not only because I was t oo young but also because it was late at night, but I couldnt sleep regardless. I was so anxious for my sister to come kinfolk with the baby there was just no way I was going to sleep. I waited in the living room, hoping that someone would walk in through the front door. Finally, I see my parents come in and I run right past them wanting to make sure my sister was walking in with the baby behind them. To my disappointment she wasnt.I turned around to ask my parents where she was but before I could say anything my mom smiled and said to me, Youre sister is still at the hospital with the baby. She named her Hailey Hannah. Hailey Hannah. I repeated, I love it afterwards that, my parents sent me off to bed but I still couldnt sleep. I kept restate Haileys name in my head, I even imagined myself express everyone at school Hi Coach, I have a niece now. Her name is Hailey Hannah Hey Summer Im an aunt now, and my nieces name is Hailey Hannah correct Morning Mrs. Adams, my sister had a baby and her name is Hailey Hannah I loved itI wanted to let everyone know that I had just become an aunt I vowed to myself that I would be the trump aunt I could be. I would play with her, help her with whatever she needed, look after her, protect her, and anything else I need to do to make her safe and halcyon. The next day the whole family woke up bright and early to go visit my sister and Hailey at the Hospital. I couldnt wait The anticipation was building as we walked into the hospital and walked towards the room where they were also waiting to see us all. As soon as I walked in the door, I saw my sister lying in bed holding my newborn niece.My heart was telling me to run towards them, jump on the bed, and lay there with them both. My mind told me different. After all I didnt want to be the first in the family to make her cry So I kept calm, and walked over to them with the biggest smile that has ever been on my face. As I touched her soft little head she undecided her e yes, looked up at me, and slightly smiled. It made me laugh because it made me think that she was just as happy to see me as I was I to see her. Now my Hailey is about to turn ten, and she is definitely my best friend and it really feels as if she is my little sister.She has grown so much and so fast that its hard to believe how much time has passed. I was there when she took her first bath, took her first steps, got her first haircut, and befuddled her first tooth. Ive watched her dance at her dance recitals Ive cheered her on at her soccer games, and back up her when she sang with the choir at her elementary school. Ive learned so much about myself from universe with Hailey that I think shes the reason why I love being around children so much and that Ive chosen to major in Education in College. Its safe to say that becoming an aunt is definitely the greatest event of my life.
