She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child. ~Barbara Alpert
So you can probably figure out... I'm getting a sister. Mom started crying when she was reading the sister quotes actually. The one above is one her sister put on a poster for her a few years ago. So everything is well with my sister at this point. She's just the right size, her little hands, feet, heart, face, etc were all visable and looking quite cute (not as cute as mine of course :)) And now Mom is trying to figure out how to use all my summer baby clothes in the dead of winter, and if we'll do purple, hot pink, or some type of green in my new room since I'll have to move out of the pale pink nursery for my sis. Dad, on the other hand, is trying to calculate the cost of Sis and I going to college with-in a year of each other and I hope is including some monster weddings for us :) He's such a lucky guy.... there are now 5 women in his house (Mom, me, baby, Jesse, and Bailey) Here's a few more sister quotes for those lucky enough to have a sister to love.
If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child. ~Linda Sunshine
To the outside world we all grow old.But not to brothers and sisters.We know each other as we always were.We know each other's hearts.We share private family jokes.We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.Clara Ortega
Sibling relationships - and 80 percent of Americans have at least one - outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, loyalty and distrust.- Erica E. Goode

So cute! Sorry I missed your call yesterday. Lilly is going to love having a sister-especially so close in age. I bet they will be best friends! Congrats!
