A boy came into my life today...and I love him!

Today at 11 AM - I received a call from my mom that my sister is in the hospital - and was about to have a baby. I was extremely relieved because I have been praying that she gives birth a week prior to, or a week after my bar exam - so that I am here in CA and able to visit her, give moral support, and witness the birth of my first and only nephew.

I immediately got dressed, did a few practice exams, and headed out to Hoag Hospital at Newport Beach, which was only half hour away from my house. I have been calling and/or texting her all week - asking her if she has given birth yet. I was so excited driving down to the hospital and can't hardly wait to see this little boy - who obviously will become a major, and important part of my life. I got there at around 2 - we patiently sat at the lobby, drank starbucks, and I got my books out to review - so as not to waste any precious time as my exam day is fast approaching. At approximately 5:15 pm - my little sister rushes out the hallway and shouts "he's crying, he's crying!" as we all stood up in glee - eagerly anticipating the arrival of this little prince.

We waited awhile and finally was about to meet him about half hour after he was born. He is so handsome - and I am not saying that just because he is my nephew. He really is a beautiful boy. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 20 1/2 inches long. He has a full set of hair, and chubby chubby cheeks. He looks like his mom - he really does. He is pale, he has big feet and big hands for a baby boy. He keeps sneezing a lot.

I was so proud of my sister. I don't know how that big of a baby can come out of her - they didn't have to do a caesarian operation on her - but they did have to suction the baby's head out.

I am just so in love with this little boy - and I've only met him just a few hours ago. It's weird - how you immediately just love someone just by virtue of holding him. I definitely am the proud auntie. I can't wait to borrow him.

I am looking forward to years and years of happiness, joy, and pure love - watching him grow. I am so excited!!!

Welcome to the world - little prince.
