My aunt is pregnant and is due August 15th. I'm very excited. I only have one first cousin (her son) and I've always wanted more cousins. We find out if the baby is a boy or girl March 25th. I'm very excited and I've got my fingers crossed for a girl but I'll be happy either way.

My aunt, however, still hasn't told her mother about the pregnancy. My aunt is not currently married. She has a long and complicated history with men. To say the least, she sure knows how to pick them. She's been divorced twice and is now living with her current boyfriend. Her ex-husband, my cousin's--Dalton's--father is currently in jail for something utterly stupid. Her boyfriend, Tommy, is a man that I really like and I would love for her to marry him one day, but I doubt she will. I'm worried about how she is going to tell my grandmother, because my grandmother is very meddling. She's really going to stress my aunt out about this and I recently learned that she had a miscarriage a couple of years back. She really wants things to go great with this pregnancy, because she's started telling people about it and she's looking forward to the baby.

Basically, I have two things that I want to address in this post. The stuff you read above was background fluff. When my grandmother finds out, how do I stop her from pestering the hell out of me about her pregnancy, Tommy, and the new baby? My grandmother will not be happy because of the sole fact that my aunt is not married. She's very meddling and will want to talk about this every day for the next five months.

Also, I'm very crafty and I love new babies. Once I find out the sex of the baby, from now until it is born I will probably spend all of my time making things for my new cousin. How do I keep Dalton from getting jealous of all the gifts? I could make something for him, but I really don't know what to make for him. I guess I'll need to purchase him something every time that I give my aunt whatever I have recently finished in order to pacify him. He wants me to knit him a sweater, but I've never made a sweater before. His color choice is rainbow, which I doubt my aunt will let him wear.

Also, when my aunt goes to find out the sex of the baby they are going to give her a DVD that shows her baby moving around as well as ultra sound pictures. Has anyone ever seen one of those DVDs? It is either in 3D or 4D, I've forgotten which, but it sounds like it would be pretty interesting to watch. She's talked about giving one to my grandmother as a way to tell her, but she wouldn't have a clue how to watch it.
