Guess who's pregnant???!!!

NOT ME! LOL. First, I have mentioned before that my cousin and his wife, Amber, are expecting a baby. I can finally reveal that they are having a boy. I am really excited for them, but I feel a little bad for giving her tons of baby girl stuff! LOL - no biggie, I will just go pick it up and take it to good will!
Also, I am 80% sure that my sister, Randi, is pregnant. It's just a hunch - I have nothing definitive or anything like that - but let me just explain the reasoning behind my hunch. I am going to try to make this as short as possible so if you get confused about something and want to know - just drop a comment and I will try to explain. Over a week ago, she and my mom got into a big argument because she didn't get her way about something, and she informed my mom that she and the kids would soon be moving out because she is SOOOOO in love with her boyfriend of 1.5 months - we'll say 2 - and they are ready to play house...live together, get married, and start a family of their own. So my mom and dad come over last night with Isabella and Isaiah (Randi's children) and I let all the kids color Easter eggs..I ask my mom if Randi and Amelio have found a place to live, and she tells me that Amelio is now staying at my parents house...or has been since Sunday night! BWAHAHAHA...all I could do was laugh. I ask, "How did this happen?" Mom tells, me that she was at work on Sunday night and Randi text her saying that she wanted to give her a heads up that Amelio was staying the night, and she was just letting her know so that he didn't scare her in the morning. Mom text back, and said that she didn't know how to respond, and that it was irresponsible and that she didn't appreciate her bringing a stranger in to a home that didn't belong to her. She said - you can't ask for permission AFTER the fact. Anyway, Amelio stayed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday...but apparently Isaiah told my parents that they are all staying at Amelio's apartment tonight...hmmmm. Now, I am sure you are asking yourselves, why is her mother allowing this man to stay in her house...I should probably explain that my dad went out of town on Sunday afternoon (which is probably why Randi waited until then to pull this crap) and didn't get home until after midnight on Wednesday. My mom works overnight shifts at the hospital, from 7pm to 7am. She leaves the house around 5:30 in order to get something to eat and get there on time, and she doesn't get home until around 8:30 because she usually stops to eat something on the way home. When she gets home she goes to sleep and doesn't usually wake up until somewhere between 4 and 4:30/....that is if she doesn't have to wake up and pick up kids from school...and if when said kids get home they can actually be quiet enough to let her sleep. SO she wakes up with just enough time to shower, dress, apply a little makeup, and head out the door. Not to mention that she works 5 days on, 2 days off...she worked Saturday - wednesday, and had Thursday off which she said she used to just sleep pretty much the entire day, and Friday, she had errands to run so she was out of the house most of the day, she took the kids to a movie, went with my dad to gget him a new phone, came to my house. So you can see that my mom is barely home and even when she is....she SLEEPS. So, after explaining all of this - When I asked why she was allowing him to stay there...she said #she thought he was only staying the night Sunday, and didn't even know he had stayed Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, until the kids told her, then on Thursday, she was laying on the couch and he said good morning to her and scared her, and last night Randi and Amelio were going to a party, which is why my parents had the kids - so she just assumed he would be staying the night again. Now that brings me to another point My parents told Randi they would no longer watch her kids over night, nor would they be her personal nannies....but Randi figured out a way around that too...She asked my mom to watch the kids for her one night and my mom said no...she was going to watch them while Randi went to a party...they got into a fight - Randi told my mom what a bitch she was, and 20 minutes later she and the kids were bumbling down the stairs. Mom asked where they were going and Randi said, "I told you, my friend is having a party, and we are going." So My mom said that she would keep the kids...I mean, the only alternative was letting the kids go to a party, and my mom didn't want that. Ughhhh....so getting to the point about her being pregnant. My sister mentioned to my mom that she and Amelio wanted to sit down with my parents and have a talk... UH OH...With my mom's work schedule, they didn't have the opportunity so Randi said it again yesterday - that the four of them really needed to sit down and talk. I can only imagine that the talk is going to be about Randi being pregnant. Now, I may be jumping the gun - maybe she isn't pregnant...but I can't see any other reason that she would want to sit down - all four of them - for a little chat.
Now, onto why my parents came over last night. Vanessa is graduating from Sam Houston State University with a bachelor's degree in mass communications and a specialized degree in psychology on May 14. My mom didn't want to pay the $300 for Announcement they get through the school, so she asked me if I would make announcements that she could order and send out. She told Vanessa she wasn't going to do any announcements - so this is a little surprise for her. It's nothing too special, or anything - I just did it on shutterfly, but we picked out some baby pictures and some recent pictures and made the announcement together. I think it looks really cute. Like I said, it isn't some amazing tribute or anything, but I think its really nice, and I was so happy that my mom included me in the project. I am so proud of my little sister. It's sad when you look up to a sister 6 years younger than you rather than the sister that is 2 years older! Randi is the oldest...she is the one that should be setting the example for us - but I guess in a way she is setting an example of what NOT to do. Also, I wanted to day that last night when my mom and I were talking, I told her how proud I was of Vanessa, and what an amazing woman she has turned out to be. She said that she was really proud of Vanessa as well, AND that she was proud of me too! I of course started crying - it isn't often that my mom pays a compliment to me. She told me that I have also turned into an amazing woman. She said I was a wonderful mother, and wife - and couldn't have asked for more in a daughter. I am crying just typing this. Knowing that my mom is proud of me means more than anything. I guess what I am saying is what I have ALWAYS said. My mom and I don't have the normal mother -daughter relationship. We aren't really close, we don't usually lift each others spirits, we don't lean on each other in hard times. But without a question, I know that my loves me, and I love her very much.
