My new title ... Aunt

At 4:57 am, my niece Gal was born. I think my sister would disown me if I got into the details of the labor but it was an incredible experience to be in the room with her when she was giving birth. I was flooded with emotions when I first laid eyes on this beautiful little girl, but suffice it to say that I was just so glad that both Maayan and Gal were healthy and that the labor passed relatively easily. I am so excited to be an aunt... I already told Maayan that I will spoil her child, but that's what aunts are good for. That and to be super nanny. My brother-in-law already has visions of me changing diapers in return for my free room and board in their apartment.... I think I got the better end of the deal!
