There's a little penis in the house!

I am so excited that my sister just a few hours ago had my first nephew, the first boy! in the family. It's just been girls for generations! Finally, a boy. Oh, boy. He has no idea what's in store for him. Grant William burst into the world, blond-haired and screaming at 6:30 pm. William is my mother's father's name. Poppy to my sister and I. He would be thrilled to tears to know that he has a great-grandson with his name. My mom and I cried on the phone about it minutes after Grant was born. The emotions a birth can draw are strong.

I loved my Poppy. We didn't truly get close until after my grandmother passed away. We had a monthly movie and dinner date. More often if we could pull it off. I loved talking to him. He really was very special and I still miss him. Plus, he had the best hair ever!

Okay, so I let myself drink some wine tonight. My sister had a baby and my husband is out of town, I'm all sorts of emotional (forget any kind of a workout tomorrow).

Anyway, as much as I like to keep my emotions close to the vest when it comes to anyone outside my house, I'm sooooooo excited to have a new baby in the family. Especially because it's someone elses. Ha! But, the best part? I get to buy baby boy clothes for a change!

The other reason I'm excited? Newborn baby pictures. O.My.God. Cannot wait to get my hands on that newborn!
