Roberta’s Big Surprise

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

    Wow. I don’t know how anyone would take it, I like being an only child. But a bunny??? I have a pet mini lop bunny! She’s white and her name’s Sugar Puff! : D She is very sweet and wouldn’t mind it. *~Ruchirock~*

    I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roberta, don’t worry about the baby sleeping in your room. Most likely the baby will sleep in her mommy’s room. (I’m saying mommy because in baby talk that is what mom is) After all, the mommy was the 1 who gave birth 2 her so doesn’t it make sense that the baby would love her mommy more than anybody else? *Your friend Orange Starburst,*

    I thought that was probably it. I couldn’t say what to do, I’m the youngest in my family. I’m sure it will be a huge change, and sorry, but I think it will be super annoying. ~~O~~SapphireSea~*~*~

    I KNEW IT!!! You are so lucky Roberta, I’m a youngest with TWO older brothers. from KRAZY 4 DOGZ P.S., Your mom might not eat your carrot muffins for a while. Probably to sugary or something.

    I am the oldest out of my family and I have 2 little sisters and 1 baby brother. My little brother loves to let me do his hair (by sticking it up with water). I think being the oldest is really fun. What if Roberta’s parents had given her a shirt that said, “I’m going to be a big sister?” Siblings are soooo adorable, and since Roberta is pretty old, she won’t be jealous of the baby (I certainly wasn’t jealous when my brother was born, the sisters are a different story). I hope that there will be a contest related to this. $$$Smarticles$$$
