How to tell someone they are an aunt/uncle

Well, we let the cat a little more out of the bag... this past weekend, we told the siblings about baby.

Eric's response was a quick two word shock followed by a congratulations at the revelation that he'll be an uncle. Wish we could have told him in person but we'll hopefully see him in the coming year. Matt only had to call him Uncle Eric three times for him to catch on.

Alaina was a bit more responsive. I took a Amazon prime box, put in baby carrots, baby corn, and baby pickles with a folded up pic of the ultrasound and a note that said, "To: Auntie, Love: Amanda and Matt"

Name of the week: Eila
Cravings: nothing....still. Stupid cough.
Pregnancy symptoms: All things are drowned out by the coughs and headaches.

Alaina: What is all this stuff? (staring into box)
Alaina: baby carrots, baby corn, baby pickles (makes puzzled face)
Alaina: (sees note)
Alaina: Auntie! Are you pregnant?
ALR: (nods head)
The crying begins
Alaina: whabahabahaba
MJR: I didn't catch much of that
ALR and Alaina hug
Alaina: whaaabababhahaha
Diana: I think that means she's happy.
Alaina: wahbahahab (sniff sniff)
MJR: Reminds me of the wedding. This must be the good cry.
Alaina: (sniff sniff)
