AW: I have a new niece

YaraC

I'm just AW'ing about all kinds of things today. But this is actually sort of relevant to this board.

My 39 y/o sister gave birth to her first baby, a little girl, earlier this afternoon. She went into the hospital Saturday at 41 weeks to begin induction and just delivered today. It's been a long 2 days of waiting for me but no doubt even longer for her. I just hope stubborn babies don't run in the family.

Congrats, Auntie!

Do you two live close enough that the cousins will get to play together often?   I love family ties like that.

Congratulations, Aunt Laura!

Unfortunately we live 3000 miles apart, but we'll do the best we can. 

 

Thanks

Congrats on your Auntie status. Hopefully, your LO will not be as stubborn as her cousin.

How exciting to be a new Aunt! I'm glad everything went well for your sister (although, a little longer than she probably would have liked).

Maybe she can join the Parenting after 35 board so we can all meet her

Congratulations!  I have 11 nieces & nephews and it is so much fun being an aunt!  

I think everyone has neglected to ask the most important question though - what did she name her??? Or did I miss that in your OP?

Hope I'm not being nosey...just obsessed with names these days....

Her name is Zia Alexandria. My sister has a flair for the dramatic.

Aww...that's cute!!   Its different but not obnoxiously so like some of the other names I've seen....wow...there are some doozies.

BTW, I see in your siggy - are you naming your little girl Pearl???   I seriously LOVE that name but I can't get DH to love it no matter how hard I try....its just soooo cute...I am jealous!

Thanks. No, Pearl is just what we started calling her when I found out I was pg because we took a cruise on the Norwegian Pearl about 28 weeks ago. Dh wanted to give her that as a middle name but changed his mind when I told him he had to tell her where her middle name come from.

LOL!   Well...its a cute nickname, nonetheless!
