(5:30 PM UPDATE: He's here! 7 pounds, 10 ounces. Mom and baby doing fine...)
We just got the news this morning - as I write this, my sister is in labor with Nephew #2.
We are pleased.
The Most Adorable Nephew in the Universe is quite excited. None of this "sibling rivalry even before you were born" for him; I think, though, he's mostly excited about something he can boss around. Boy, is he going to learn. But his excitement is touching - the Prince wants a fellow royal.
My sister has everything under control, naturally. That is her way. Both kids have come on time, essentially on schedule, and so far, perfectly smoothly. "Textbook," as she told me the other day, pointing out that someone, after all, must fit the textbook profile and it's her. And so it is, of course. I have felt protective of her since she got here - my little sister, the most wondrous thing ever created. We have our tensions (stealing her french fries was only the beginning), but we remain strangely (my word) bonded. We accomplish a lot with silent looks and a few well chosen words. Positively, I mean. :)
No, I still don't know what to call the new guy - MANU has taken to calling him "Scooby", which we all like. But we shall see. I'm just glad to have another one.
Name????
Or are we waiting post-bris?
