This morning at 6:40 a.m. I received a phone call from my brother telling me that their baby was just born. A boy. It’s the first grandchild on both sides. Also, I’m an aunt for the very first time.
The whole family is so thrilled and excited. I walked around giddy and smiling all day long.

-The delivery was as perfect as one could ask for.
-We discussed nicknames. His initials are D.R.W. With the D and R it’s like Dr., my sister and Matt were saying it would be cute to call him Doc. My dad said that his father’s childhood nickname was also Doc.
-My dad was recalling the day I was born, he left the hospital and it was a foggy morning. Well, today was also a very foggy morning.

-I went over to my brother and SILs to take their dog out for a walk. When I was leaving I noticed a bright red cardinal fly right in front of me and land in the neighbor’s tree. I always like to think cardinals are a good luck sign.

I’m so happy for my brother and SIL, and I can’t wait to spend time with this new little person, watch him grow and see who he becomes.

Today my sister and I threw our sister-in-law a baby shower. This will be my very first niece or nephew and I am soooooo excited! As a creative activity at the party, guests chose from onesies, blankies, socks, bibs, shoes and a bag, to decorate and give to the mommy to be. This was my piece (pictured above). I was just thinking about how cute baby bellies are and so I painted concentric circles like a target right where the belly would be, drawing attention right to the feature. It’s a shame to have to cover up that “belleh”, but if you do, do it in fashion.

I worked as a nursery supervisor for 11 years (just one day a week) and gained lots of invaluable information such as being able to recite The Runaway Bunny, Guess How Much I Love You, and Cookie Monsters Little Kitchen by heart, all children will settle down and stop crying just moments after the parents leave the room but getting the parents to understand that is another problem, change the diaper - change the disposition, and of course, baby bellehs are irresistible!
