The Almost Big Sister

Oh, wow! Let me tell you – it’s not easy being an almost-big sister! This can be very stressful! The baby is due, like, any second and last night my mom started having these pains and I thought this was it! I was running around, boiling water and trying to find clean sheets, (isn’t that what they always do on TV?) when my dad told me to calm down. Calm down? Hello, mister?! There’s a baby on the way!!!

He told me to be quiet and stop yelling (I was yelling?) because my mother was on the phone with the doctor. Her pains had stopped by then and the doctor said that it was false labor. Ugh! Now I know what Molly is talking about when she says Millie gets on her nerves – I mean, how could my new little sister or brother do this to me?

Then my dad told me that when the time comes I don’t need to boil water or get clean sheets because the hospital will have all of that. And then he made me tidy up the linen closet. Geez – I was only trying to help!

Oh, I don’t know how much more of this my nerves can handle!

Ooh – gotta run. I just heard my mother get up! Maybe THIS is it!

    Roberta, don’t bother with boiling water. It’s just like your dad said, the hospital will take care of everything. Besides, the only reason why people boil water when a child is about to be born is because they need to stay out of the way.

    Oh!!! I cannot wait for the baby to be born!! And Roberta, your dads right. You just need to calm down and relax. The time will come when the baby is ready. Ugh I have a cold and I cannot stop sneezing. Summer colds are awful. ACHOO!!!! I absolutely hate this right now. Oh and Roberta!!!! Your mom will be kinda irritable for the next few hours before the baby is born so don’t be upset if she’s snapping at you. Just don’t worry. You are gonna be a great big sister and your parents and neighbors will recognize you as a responsible sibling.
