It's a BOY!

It's so weird to even think about all this... aaacckk!! But... my dad called tonight and said they had an ultrasound today and it confirmed that he and his girlfriend are having a BOY. His name is going to be Kaden Richard. He is due sometime in June. This is just weird, weird, weird. To think that my little brother is being born the year I turn 30. Samantha thinks it's very cool to have an uncle who is 10 years younger than she is!! She says someday she'll tell her friends "I have to go pick my uncle up from preschool!" :)
When my baby brother turns 18, I will be 47. What's worse-- when he turns 18, my dad will be 72 !!!!
This is such an odd situation though. I still have not met the baby's mother... my dad's girlfriend. I have this awful fear that they will split up and I will never get to see my brother. As it is now, I haven't seen my dad is so long... just a handful of times since last summer. It's tough... but it's getting easier. I just don't want to know there's a baby out there that I can't have a relationship with...
I hope it's not that way... I hope it all ends happily and I get to see little Kaden whenever I want... but who knows?
