A little flutter of excitement

I remember very clearly about 6 and a half years ago when my sister was heavily pregnant with my niece. Abby was going to be the first baby in our family for many's a year and I remember sitting in my parents' house on Sunday afternoon - not long before Abby was born - and getting a wee flurry of excitement that soon things were never going to be the same again.
So now my sister is two weeks off giving birth to my wee nephew and today, when I received an email from her to say she was feeling a little niggly I felt that flutter of excitement again.
