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

    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)

    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.
