Hello all, How was everybody's weekend? Mine was pretty busy. Got some news that just blew my mind. My little brother's girlfriend is pregnant, so it looks like I'm gonna be an uncle. Which is pretty awesome I think. Just has brought up a bunch of feelings that I really didn't even know I had. My brother is 10years younger than I am, and he's not married. They're not getting married either, which I completely agree with. If they weren't sure about or didn't want to get married, a baby is a reason they should. You have to want to be married, the last thing they need is added stress at this point. I just hope everything between them works out, children need both parents. I wish someone would beat that into some my friends heads, but it hasn't worked yet, and I doubt it ever will.
I guess the biggest problem I'm having is the realization that I want kids. I really always have. My wife and have talked about it, and she doesn't want kids, at least not now. To be honest I'm not sure she ever will want kids. I'm happy for my brother, I hope and pray, that this work out for him in the best way possible. He knows I will stand behind him, and support him in whatever ways he needs me. It just saddens me a little to see him in a state of confusion, and worried about the future. The problem is I think I'm more jealous than concerned.
