ta-da!

both our niece and her mom came through beautifully. the induction started at 1:30 this morning, and she was born at 9:59 am - after about 10 minutes of pushing. is it wrong for me to be jealous of that kind of delivery? well, tough titties, because i am.

but i am even more in love with my niece, who is tiny and pink and perfect and let me hold her for a long, long time. she fussed a tiny little bit at one point, and justin's grandmother said milo must be kicking her. actually, he was kicking a bit; do you think he sensed his cousin sitting on top of him, getting all the adoration, and got jealous? maybe jealousy runs in the family.
