She's here!! She's here!!

My niece has arrived!! Cool Jen SIL had her baby yesterday evening. A beautiful baby girl whom I got to visit twice today. I am in love with her already - she is absolutely gorgeous. You did a great job Jen (and Andy, too, gets some credit for his small contribution).

I'd like to also raise a cheer to brave Jen who fulfilled her wish to have a completely unmedicated childbirth. It is not an easy thing to do and many people, including hospital people, tend to be very unsupportive and even downright mocking of the idea. I am so so so proud of her strength and her commitment to having the birth she wanted.

*wild thunderous applause for Jen*
