My New Nephew

I now am the proud Aunt to a little nephew. My sister (his Mom) and I are about as close in age as you can be besides being twins (10 1/2 months). She found out she was pregnant at my house (using one of my many pee-sticks) and now nine months later, he is here! We just love him, we all cried when he was born. It was so beautiful! I was there when a friend of mine delivered her little girl and I thought it was awesome. But this was so much more incredible! In our LDS religion, we believe that there are times when the veil between this earth and the here after is very thin. This was one of those moments. My brother-in-law gave my sister and LDS blessing and you could feel such a strong spirit in the room. I know Lilly and Ryker were there, celebrating their sweet cousin into the world. My sister ended up only pushing for about 20 minutes, and even had to stop so the doctor could come. Heather did great, especially for a first time Mom. Since I work on the mother/baby floor, I was allowed to go where most can't. I gave him his first little bath (which he was not very happy about) and even weirdly assisted the doctor with his circumcision. I love being an aunt. We now have 3 nephews and 2 nieces.
