| I created this nodeshell almost a month ago. My sister was entering her ninth month of pregnancy, my other sister had just given birth to a beautiful girl. I love my family, it's big and abundant, and I have a 5:1 ratio of nieces to nephews. Seems like there's always a girl being born somewhere, sister or sister-in-law and a niece again.
Don't get me wrong - I love my nieces, each and every one of them. I'll take another dozen, if that's the way it's going to work. And I will love them all because babies and kids and family are made to be loved. But still, I often think of having another nephew or two...
My sister had a baby boy today.
Do I need to state that I'm sort of excited? I love babies, babies rock. I love healthy babies. I love my sister's babies, they are always large, (this one was 10 lb,4 oz), they are always big-momma-hefty things. Big babies rock. And most of all, I love boys.
Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but little boys are infinitely more fun than little girls. They may take more physical energy, but they are full of spirit and childish logic and practicality and dirt. Of course, it'll take time until the baby gets to that point, but infants are amazing whichever gender they are.
I have the punklin, I have a Moose, a Ricki; I have Hannah, and other nieces, and Ben and other nephews, but a new one is good. A new one is nice. A new one is happy.
I'm happy it's a healthy baby. I'm happy it's a boy, and I'm happy he's arrived. Welcome home, kiddo. This is your family. |
