You recently received the news that your sister is going to have a baby and the whole family has rejoiced! You have either been waiting for this moment desperately since your sister got married or you are still not sure what it means to be a khala. But obviously, you are excited and you want to make this time special for your sister and brother in law, along with being the best khala ever!
Here are some of the cute things you can do to make this time memorable:
Organise the best baby shower!
Go on and organise an amazing baby shower for your sister. Make the list of friends and family you want to invite, order a nice cake and do lovely decorations. It would be a nice idea to do at home, since your sister must be having trouble travelling.
Create a picture collage of old baby photos –
Gather up cute cute baby pictures of your “behnoi” and sister and stick them together in an album. And after the baby is born add his picture to this lovely album.
Save money and focus on long term goals as khala –
The baby is already going to get a ton of toys from all your relatives, so hold back on toy shopping. Instead, think of your long-term goal as the favourite khala- new toys every month once the kid is old enough to actually enjoy them! Also, consider not buying too many clothes for them because babies grow in size very rapidly in the first few months/year so they won’t be of much use!
Make time!
It’s the first time you are gonna be a khala, you really don’t want to miss events – like the birth of your first niece/nephew. The baby might forgive you, but your sister definitely won’t! So plan ahead for leaves you might need to take from the office.
Make a DIY baby record book –
Get a scrap book, organize and save all the pretty moments with your niece or nephew. Like polaroid pictures of their random moments. When they walk for the first time in front of you. Pictures of their bubbly toes and hands. When they are eating or smiling. Their candid moments with their parents. And trust us this is going to make the new parents so happy!
Make a DIY crib mobile –
There is no better gift than making something with your own hands. You can obviously order it online or get it from a shop without any hassle, but a things becomes more valuable when you put some effort in it. You can find many videos online on how to make a cute crib mobile not only the baby but your sister will cherish it forever.
Brace yourself for the flood of emotions –
Since it’s your sister’s baby you have motherly feels towards it. There will be times when suddenly you are flooded with love and affection for this cute little marshmallow. You would want to ditch everything in the world and spend time with this kid. Not only when they are an infant but even when they grow up, your feelings for them would never change.
