I mentioned this news briefly in the last entry, but I was being all whiney about being the misfit, so I barely glossed over it instead of truly embracing it.
Kaylee Marie was born at 5:15 pm on November 20th, 2009. She weighed in at a whopping 8lbs 15oz. I hear that this is big, but since my mother always complained about how big we were (me: 9lbs, my brother: 9 lbs. 5oz, my sister: 9lbs 14oz), Kaylee doesn't seem all that impressive. But she is chubby and not alien-like at all! Alien babies freak me out a little, I'm not gonna lie. So when
Kaylee came out all chubby and looked like she was a month overdue, I was excited. I don't know and have never cared about the length of any baby, so don't ask.My sister squeezed her out in an hour and fifteen minutes. Not too shabby for my sister's first go at childbirth.
Kaylee is all kinds of healthy and robust. She certainly doesn't look newborn, although that probably has to do with the almost 9lbs. thing.
So far I am in love with being an aunt. I will get to play with her, corrupt her by teaching her intelligent bad words, feed her candy, and then I get to give her back. Right now, though, she sleeps a lot. Last night I positioned her blankets so she looked like Yoda, and said "Look like Yoda, I do" several times. Then I positioned the blankets so she looked like Jabba the Hut. She never woke up. Katie (Kaylee's mother/my sister) may have thought it was funny, although she was probably just loopy on pain killers.
