My darling sister-in-law, Natalie, had a baby! I am now an aunt!! I didn't think I'd be as excited as I am because I've had my own kid for 2 years now, but ever since I found out she was pregnant I've been over the moon excited! When I heard that she was in labor I was skipping and singing around the house all day - that and checking my phone frantically for updates. And then little Baby James made his debut. I'm pretty much in love with this kid. We changed our travel plans and went down to Houston as soon as we could to celebrate Evette's birthday with the family but mostly to go visit that little bundle of happiness.
I mean, seriously - look at that face!

We've been talking about Cousin James with Evette nearly every day since we found out. We prayed for him and Aunt Natalie and she got to see Natalie pregnant a couple times so she knew all about the new baby. She was pretty excited when we told her we were going to go meet him.
I'm kinda a baby hog so it was very difficult to not swoop in and steal that baby from his Daddy's arms the second I saw him, but I'm glad I resisted because Evette desperately wanted to hold him first. She was in awe with him. She liked to stroke his hair, play with little fingers, and give him baby besos. It melted my little heart. She's going to be the best big sister.
Once I got to hold him I may or may not have just cried and cried. I love babies and I'm pregnant and I fell in love with this little boy and it made me excited [and a little bit terrified] for mine to get here. See how many emotions? You would have cried too, guaranteed.
Evette also loved to give him little nuzzles. She loves to nuzzle and snuggle and it was precious to see that.
The little visiting party.
I cannot wait to see this little man again!
