I can't stop looking at him, our tangible miracle so soft and new. This is my brother's new little one. It took 7 years for him to join us and oh how my heart has burst with joy since his arrival. The moment our eyes met I knew I loved him. I am so happy to have another "love of my life" to wrap my heart around (his arrival makes me an aunt 9 times over). He has such an amazing spirit about him and with such incredible parents I have no doubt this tiny bundle of perfection will someday grow into a mighty man.
What an exciting experience it has been to watch my big brother, my role model, become a dad. It's such a natural fit for him and I could not be happier to share this time with them. I was the only family, available on both sides, in town to help, so I was lucky person #3 to hold him after his entrance into this world. You can't put a price tag on sharing moments like that with those you love the very most.
There is something so renewing that happens when a new baby is born. It's as though the world quiets down enough for God to whisper "take good care of My precious little one". I have no doubt that my brother and his wife will be the most amazing parents ever. I am so excited for a lifetime of happiness that this little guy will bring them. (His name hasn't been chosen yet).
