One of the best parts of being pregnant was being pregnant with my sister. Jill was about 3 1/2 months ahead of me but we called each other daily and commiserated together when the going got tough. She gave birth to her son, Kyle, in October and I lost my pregnant buddy and really missed being a part of Kyle's first days since I was stuck in California. 
Lucky for me, in January she was able to fly down and introduce me to Kyle (he was 3 1/2 months old) when I was 35 weeks pregnant. She was even here when I had the cerclage removed and even more importantly, she was here when I gave birth to Matthew. Because Matthew went straight to the NICU, Kyle wasn't able to meet him. This is yet another reason why I was so excited to see my family because it meant that finally . . . the new cousins would meet! Kyle is no little baby and the joke before we got up there was that Kyle was going to eat Matthew for a snack. No, Kyle didn't get to nibble on Matthew, but the two babies looked adorable together and did enjoy kicking and flailing around together on my mom's couch.
It was such a thrill to finally get the two boys together and my Mom couldn't resist buying them matching outfits. I can't wait to see the boys together in a month when we fly up to visit again. It will be neat to see how they've changed and also see if they interact any differently. Until then, I am going to try and chub Matthew up so that he'll be able to hold his own against Kyle!!
