Today, the occassion is double joy.
First, it was a known fact that today is the Scandinavian Prince's mother's birthday - Happy Birthday Mom! We bought her roses and a simple birthday card as we had no idea what to get her.
Second and most unexpected surprises of all is that my sister who was due to deliver her third baby (sex unknown till after baby was born) sometime after Dec 10, actually delivered her third baby boy at 1.55am today.
With two nephwes ahead of the newborn, it is no wonder that I'm smiling with the same fondness I had some years ago when I became an aunt. Nope, I'm not complaining that its a boy again - to me, the fact that my sister had a safe and sound delivery and that newborn is healthy and hearty is more than good news.
Nothing beats the value of life itself so the question of "if she had had a girl it would have been better" shouldn't even arise if you ask me.
Welcome home, my new nephew.
Your arrival was indeed much anticipated.
