My Secretive Sister June 23, 2009

I have never been able to keep a secret.  Even my own.  It’s been a problem for as long as I can remember.  I just hate keeping secrets and having secrets kept from me.

My sister Katie is the exact opposite when it comes to secrets.  She has always been able to keep secrets for long periods of time…..and I HATE it!!!

With all three of my pregnancies, I have called everyone that I knew within 24 hours of the discovery.  I just can’t hold it in or I’m afraid that I’d explode.

Katie, on the other hand, waits for a very long time and then shocks the crap out of me.  With Max, I actually discovered her secret because of the preg test she left in her bathroom, but she didn’t TELL me until long after. This was of course long after I’d told everyone else that I knew.  With Paige, she leaned over just before a baby shower was about to begin and said, “by the way, I’m pregnant”….after she’d already announced to everyone else at the party.  And this time, with her third pregnancy…..yep, that’s right, her THIRD pregnancy…..she decided to wait an entire month and a half to tell me that she’s having a baby 11 days before me!!!  She actually just stuck her ultrasound picture in the father’s day card for my dad. Her due date is December 16th!!!

I am really quite amazed that she was able to hold that in for so long.  Even after I asked her for old baby toys and to borrow her boppy pillow.  Does anyone have a boppy pillow I can borrow?
