No, this post isn't about Justin Bieber (although I do have a touch of Bieber fever – doesn't everyone?)  I'm writing this time about the baby fever hitting my house!  We're expecting in a couple weeks and this time out, it's not me who's having the baby.  My sister is having a baby and I am over-the-moon excited about it!  It's time for me to…. Auntie Up!

I am already an Aunt, 5 times over on my husband's side, but this time it's just a little different.  I love my nieces and nephew so very much and look forward to spoiling them as much as I can, but to think that in a month's time, my own little sister will become a Mom, my heart just about explodes.  Another bonus:  she's having a boy!  I've been all about the girls for so long with 3 daughters and 4 nieces.  When my nephew arrives, I know he will quickly wrap all of us around his little finger.

I look forward to helping my sister with the baby, too.  I think it's going to be hard for me to give him back at the end of each visit, although I definitely won't miss the middle of the night feedings (good luck, sister!).

Now, here's where YOU come in!  Anyone out there with a sister who has kids already?  How did you feel when you became an auntie?  Friends tell me it's almost like becoming a mom again.  True?  Weigh in below with comments.  I'm so curious to hear your stories!
