Dear Diary,
You are never, ever in a billion years going to believe what my parents told me today.
Remember how I said they were acting distant? And how they were being weird?
Well, now I know why.
My mom is having a baby!
My parents didn’t know exactly how to tell me. They said that since I’ve been an only rabbit for so long, they didn’t know how I’d take the news. They made a special dinner and called me into the dining room. On the wall was a banner. It said, “You’re going to be a big sister!”
I nearly fainted.
That’s honestly what happened. The room got a little dim and I felt my knees turn to jelly. My dad grabbed a chair and helped me sit down. He got me a glass of carrot juice and told me to drink it slowly.
My mom held my paw and asked if I was OK. I just drank my juice and nodded.
After a few moments, my dad asked what I thought.
What do I think? That’s a tough question.
Part of me is really excited – I’ve always said that I’d love a sibling. But the other part of me? The less mature part? I’m worried that a new baby will totally take over my parents’ lives. I mean, I know a new baby is a lot of work (I remember when Millie was born five years ago – she was a handful!)…but my parents will still have time for me, right?
Overall, the biggest thing I’m worried about is space- we don’t have an extra room for the baby. Does that mean I’ll end up sharing? Because THAT will not be awesome. Maybe I’ll move my room to the basement and have a little apartment of my own. That would work…
So much to think about! I guess time will tell what’s going to happen next.
Love,
Roberta
I have 3 little brothers, 2 little sisters, and my identical twin sister. I am the next to the oldest, that equals ( Including me) 9 children. It’s tough, but F-U-N! You’re mother will still have time for you cause she has time for me and my twin. Love isn’t like a cup of sugar that gets used up, you’ll get used to it, me and my twin were only 4 when our triplet brothers were born, they got SO much attention, but we won it back. But HEY that’s what lil sissies are for. LOL good luck Berty. ( Roberta)

I have 3 brothers one is young( almost kindergarden) one is in first grade and my older brother is in seventh grade and no sisters besides my dog.
Roberta, it wont turn out that bad!!! I have a little brother that is 1 and a half years younger than me. It’s not that bad. He sometimes posts on here too but he shares a wkn account with me and a ww account with me. But it’s usually me posting. But, congratulations Roberta!!! But sometimes my brother is mean usually nice though. I was 1 and a half when he was born so I didn’t like him then. I love him now though.
