I plan on always having candy in my pocket... after the baby gets a little bigger, of course A little bribery goes a long way! I'll be his favorite aunt in no time!
My brother faded awhile back, our other two siblings are very much still in.. so I'll be the only ex-jw auntie! This boy can cuss around me all he wants!
Unfortunatly we are concerned about his mother.. she has demonstrated some very unstable behavior and we aren't sure how she'll be with the baby. My brother knows all of this and is watching closely for signs of postpartum depression and for any signs that she would in any way mistreat the baby.
So far her lunacy has been limited to raging at myself and my husband.. and telling lies about us to family and friends. As long as her crazy is aimed at us it's ok, we can handle it. If she turns any of it on the baby... well.. we will help my brother out any way we can!
Who knows, maybe it was all pregnancy related and she'll calm down and be only slightly hostile instead of phsyco!
