One of These Things...

It's finally happened.

The day I knew would come has arrived. (And in all reality, it's not in any way about me.)

Still -

Every last one of my siblings now has a child.

My youngest brother's wife gave birth right around one A.M., and the baby's a very pretty (if slightly overcooked*) little girl. I'll get to see her in about a month.

So, congratulations!

(That makes 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 - the 6 and the 4 are finished, but the last three are still potentially 'and counting'. I'm going to be trying for 2 Masters' degrees - maybe I should go for five to fill out the sequence!)

Also, I'd better start bringing in some big bucks - how else am I going to be able to afford to spoil all 16 of my brothers' and sister's kids?

I shall now have a celebratory chocolate milkshake in baby Bostyn's honor. She is a Baxter, after all.

(And I have a bottle of real Hershey's syrup. How providential!)




* By which I mean, she was nearly a week late - and this after her parents were told the initial due date was probably inaccurate and the baby would most likely arrive sometime in May. That kid really hunkered down!
