This morning, I woke up to an empty house. My mom wasn’t home, neither was my brother, or sister in law. The hood range light was on, the Instant Pot was Instant Pot’ing. And I thought to myself, this is it! I’m about to become an Uncle!
I could barely eat. I’m all excited, anxious to meet my new nephew. I’m too nervous to leave the house to grab breakfast or coffee, so I just stayed at home and grabbed a small snack as I nervously waited while sitting in the dining room with my laptop. I know that if they are at the medical facilities giving birth, the last thing they need would be some dumb ass calling their cell phones to ask whats up.
Several hours elapsed. And suddenly, I hear my brothers car turn into the driveway. (The STI has a very distinct engine tone…) I’m all smiles as I reach out of the house to meet the new bundle of joy. Until I saw my sister in law was still very pregnant. Darn.
They all had a good laugh. Apparently, they all went out for breakfast, and a bit of shopping. They decided to let me sleep in for a bit over the weekend.
