it's a boy!

I'm an aunt once again! The wee fella arrived yesterday to the whoops and cheers of the entire McDimple clan. Either way, boy or girl, we would have been ecstatic but we're extra excited to have a little more testosterone in our estrogen-heavy family tree.

My Dad already has plans to take his grandson fishing. Mind you, he already takes his granddaughter fishing but well, the man raised four girls and needs the occasional break from the females.

My sister had a rough go of things during the delivery but she's recovering and should be home soon. The upside is that she's got this cute little face to keep her company in the hospital...

Ain't he cute? He's still too tiny for me to comfortably hold so I'll wait a week or two before attempting to pick him up. I'm scared of newborn babies, you see. But, while safely nestled in his mother's arms, I stroked his pudgy little cheek, planted several kisses on his tiny little head and got in some good bonding time with my nephew. That's so cool to say. My nephew. I have a nephew. OMG, I can't wait to buy him clothes!!! Oooh, and Legos!

The Adorable Five-Year-Old Niece hasn't met her cousin yet because children aren't allowed in the hospital. A policy that according to my niece "really stinks." I agree. However, she'll pay him a visit at my sister's house later in the week. I cannot wait to see pictures from that introduction. They're both adorable, you see.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to have myself a wee celebratory nip. Cheers!
