The new love of my life!

My baby nephew Caleb was born today!!!! I was lucky enough - thanks to my dad - to be there for all the labor, attempted delivery, and eventual C-section. Richele did AMAZING and was so tough and brave and Caleb is lucky to have her as his mom! I just got home from spending 2 hours holding him at the hospital and I didn't want to leave him. Good thing I'm going back in the morning for another dose of baby!!! Look at this adorable face.....
I tell ya.....there is nothing greater in this world than being an aunt!!!!!! I guess maybe Grandma trumps aunt, but I (hopefully!) won't know how that feels for MANY more years! And just for the record, I am SO going to be the favorite aunt. You hear that Kami???? (You would think since this is the 6th grandbaby we'd be over this by now, but we aren't, we love our babies!)

Yeah!! I'm so excited for Richele! I LOVE being an aunt - love, love LOVE it. I seriously had no idea I would have such tender feelings for my adorable little nephew who I've only seen once for a week or so. But I'm guessing being a grandma probably is even better because by then you're out of the phase of taking care of your own kids so it's even more novel to have grandkids.
