Big Baby

As of Friday night, around the time the Red Sox beat the Yankees, I became an aunt again. It's a boy: 8lbs 9oz, 21". He doesn't have a name yet, but the bris is scheduled for Sunday. I got to hold him and give him a bit of a bottle on Saturday. Very cute, very big kid. He has a smattering of curly, almost reddish hair, long fingers and huge feet. My sister-in-law was induced on Thursday afternoon and there were complications. The baby's heart-rate dropped whenever she had a contraction, so they were ready to do a c-section the whole time. Everyone is home as of this morning, and doing well.

Thanks! Now my sibs each have a boy and a girl. I'm starting to feel left out. Then again, I have avoided diaper-changing duty for the last 9 1/2 year successfully and hope to keep that up until I have kids of my own...eventually.

last year, in other baseball-related converstaion, we were still in our (ever shrinking) Nashua NH apartment and the baby often had her portacrib in the same room Jackie and I slept in. as Maddie was constantly feeding in October, and I was constantly watching the Red Sox, Maddie got a few peeks. By the time the world series rolled around, I had a nervous tic / superstiton where I had to have Maddie see a piece of each game. Every time she watched, they won! Now, for 2005, though, it seems the opposite is true. the game I had her watch the other day was against Toronto, and we bit it big time. So, sorry Maddie, no more Red Sox games for you in 2005... :) _______________________________

Friday night I taught my nieces and nephew about loving the Red Sox. The 2 year old, Shayna put her hands up and cheered when they won! It totally rocked.
