I am now an aunt and I couldn't be happier.  This is my first time being an aunt and it is fun already!  A new baby around and I still get to sleep at night.  :)

My sister gave birth to a beautiful little boy, 20.5 inches long on September 9th at 8:57pm.  He was born by C-section for two reasons.  1. He was eleven pounds one ounce (OUCH) and 2. My sister developed gestational diabetes at the end of her pregnancy.  Both of these meant a high risk birth, so for the sake of a safe delivery a C-section was chosen.
The time of delivery meant that no visitors could see him on his actual birthday because it was outside of visiting hours.  However, I was the first person aside from Jason and Joyce (Grandma Sproat AKA Jason's mom) to see him the next day.  He is little, but big.
I remember being so tired just like my sister is and that is why I can't wait to go help her out.  I am going for a few days this week and a few days the week after to do what I can to make the transition to parenting a little easier if I can.  I am very excited to be able to spend this time with the new family.
Plus I can't wait to introduce Hadley to her new cousin.  (She wasn't allowed in the hospital).
Welcome to this world baby Jayden.
