I'm an Aunt (again)
Hello everyone.
Just a quickie post. I know I suck. I just haven't been spending all that much time online lately. When I am on I am trying to play catch up in so many places that I just haven't fallen back into a normal pattern to where I can just sit for a bit, and spend time here. I am working on it, so please don't hate me if you haven't seen me around much lately.
As for the header.. yep..I'm an aunt again.
Savannah Ray was born this morning. She weighed in at 7lbs 15oz, and was 20" long.
I haven't seen her yet (waiting for pictures). It makes it hard when everything happens 300 miles away, ya know? My dad, step-mom, and sister went down to be with my brother and his wife, so they should have pictures when they get back in the next couple of days.
It's so funny because I always assumed I'd be the one with kids. When we were younger I never saw my brother in that situation. Now he has 3 daughters. I figure between my 12 yr old niece, my 3 yr old niece, and now Savannah, not to mention my 14 yr old sister...there's enough kids going around. ha ha ha
Besides, being an aunt/big sister has a lot of perks that parenthood doesn't afford. I can hang out with them with minimal scolding. I can be the "cool" adult, etc. I can also have some selfish time when I need to be moody.
This past weekend my oldest niece, Jessica, was over. We had a shit load of fun. I love having her here. The only suck-ass part of it is when she goes home. It just gets depressing here for a couple of days. Even my dog gets bummed.
Anyhoo...
I have to catch up on some email, and head off for the night.
More later...
