I'm an auntie!

At 8:31 last night (that is, Central Time), literally minutes before I had to shut off my computer to board my long flight to the UK, I got a message that my sister had given birth to a healthy little boy! 7lbs. 14oz. and as yet I haven't been told whether a name has been settled on, but momma and baby are both healthy and doing just wonderfully. It was a long labor, spent at home with a midwife and family, but despite the length, everything went smoothly and just as it should. I'm sad that I couldn't delay my trip a couple of days so that I could say hi to the little fella before running back off to Scotland (more on this later perhaps), but I'm trying to tell myself that it's all the more reason going home the next time will be extra awesome.

Cheers!

    1. You're so sweet, thank you! It's so very exciting. The timing was a little weird, but I'm just over the moon that everyone is so happy and healthy!! I get to be that awesome aunt that spoils him like crazy now! ;D

    1. Sadly I missed his birth by about 10 hours. :( But at least I was able to spend some seriously awesome family and sister time with everybody before I had to leave. Now I'm just going to look forward to meeting him THAT MUCH MORE. <3 Haha
