For those of you with younger or older sisters that have had children.
I'm not a parent, but my little sister has two, or soon to be two.
Backstory: This morning at 2am, they induced labor. No complications that anyone is aware of. Literally, all morning while she's been in labor I've been a wreck! Nervous, emotional, disoriented, excited wreck. This is the second time it's happened now. I've read stories about this connection between siblings being common. I'm counting down the minutes until I get the phone call. Only my mom, dad and sisters husband are there with her, while I'm 80 miles away at work.

Anyone else ever noticed this phenomenon?
 
My baby sister has 4.
She is 8 years younger than me. And we came from a rough home world where I served as defacto parent for large stretches of her childhood.

Still, nope. Was excited but not nervous for any of her babies.
 
Older sister has 3, I wasn't even nervous for my own wife...so I'm gonna go with, no. Excited, sure, but What's gonna happen is gonna happen. I'm not a doctor, I can't change any of it.
 
My older sister has 2 and both were born in other states. No worries

My brother lives in town and his 1st I left work to go to the hospital. To answer you question- yes?
 
My sister has three,mom called and said your sister had her baby(ies) I said cool.The end .
 
I think he is referring to a very deep connected bond...deeper then just having babies.

But for me one younger sister. Growing up we hated each other....as younger adult she was still trying to screw up everybody's life and hers. After the first kid, single mom, raising him, buying a house and paying for most of it alone, getting married, having kid 2, supporting a husband, her praying a bunch, him coming around and becoming a full fledged family and husband.......I have super respect.

Still no close freaky bond....but I am very often described as cold, narcissistic, ocd, and some other great adjectives. I changed a lot in my young adult years. Never have been emotionally tied to anything since.
 
I have seen my oldest sisters son maybe twice. She lives somewhere in charlotte. My youngest sister apparently had a bunch of seizures when she was in labor. I see her son a good bit because my mom takes care of him most of the time. By a good bit I mean the 3-4 times a year I see my mom. She lives about 15 minutes away. So im gonna say I would care more if my neighbor's dog had puppies than anything that will ever happen to my sisters.
 
I guess it might actually be something off (not in a bad way) with my family connections. My sister and I are two years apart and stuck tight through a lot of BS. Foster care, moving from City to City, not having any true childhood friends and whatnot. Me and her growing up used to share mood swings quite often. Different grades, different schools, if one had a shitty day, the other did too. That connection is even deeper between us and mom. That gets down right creepy. I did save her life while she was in labor with me, so there's my excuse.

Everything with my new little niece is well and fine. 6lb3 and very healthy. Born at 9am.

If this was in the garage, I'd ask if it was your sistercousin, and infer that what you feel is the fear that the baby might be your own, and you'll end up on Springer, but it isn't, so i won't.

Nah, it's in plain sight for everyone to see. Sucks. But no, nothing out of the ordinary.

I've noticed that other places. I've had limited chances to know my family members. Never knew a grandfather and only knew one grandmother. Only have one sibling, one cousin, one mom and one dad still alive today. I wish more than anything to have known those whom have passed before me, so much that I am forever grateful to be close to those I am blessed to know.

My brother in law is a stupid bastard. Let's not trade and say we did. :lol:
 
Congratulations!!!

My sister & I are about 1.5 years apart & have always been really close. We joke about sharing a brain but we're polar opposites. It amazes me how 2 people can be so different yet so much alike :confused:

She had complications with both deliveries & my nephews came sooner than anticipated. For the 1st, dr said it was a false alarm but admitted her for observation & drugged her to get some sleep. They strongly encouraged us to leave so we went home. My BIL called a couple hours later to say she was in labor but we wouldn't make it in time. Joke was on him - I had a BMW M3 & Joe made sure we set a new record. I ended up spending night in hospital with her so my BIL could get things set up at home & sleep.

#2 had to be transferred to a NICU 45min away...pretty sure Joe beat the ambulance to the hospital (starting to notice a trend)

It's almost crazy how years can pass between me and her, living two very different lives and in a matter of minutes we can see on that same even plane we always did.
 
I'm just jealous that you have a good relationship with your sister. I effing hate my brothers guts and if he disappeared, I would never miss a beat.
