I'm an Aunt!

Congratulations to my sister-in-law Ana and Brent!! Their healthy baby boy was born about 30 minutes ago. We still don't know the "official" name, but we've heard that everyone is healthy, which is really all that matters.

It is such a special time when a new baby is born. I'm getting emotional just thinking about it. The labor and delivery experience is one that only a woman who has been through it herself can really understand. The feelings surrounding it are indescribable - a combination of fear, joy, anxiety, love... and many more. Whenever I hear that someone is pregnant or in labor or has just given birth I can't help but think back to my pregnancies, labors, and deliveries and re-experience my own emotions during those times. I do wear my heart on my sleeve and I am overemotional, but I love thinking back to those experiences. They are truly defining moments of my life.

Wow, way to totally steal Ana's thunder with my ramblings. Oops!

Congratulations Ana and Brent (and big sister Chloe!) We can't wait to meet your new baby boy at Thanksgiving!!
