I AM NOW AN AUNT!!! HUGO HAS A COUSIN!!! AND NO, I WILL NOT USE MY INSIDE VOICE!!!
Sebastian Q. Felber* was born today: 7 lb. 12 oz.
From what I hear, the birth was brisk and without too much trauma, and of course I'm dying to hear all about it. As Hugo's birth and my recovery was like a very special episode of House, for me, hearing about an easy birth is like eating a Reese's Pieces Sundae while watching good p0rn.
I am totally scooping my brother (blogger, writer for Real Time, NPR star) on his own child's birth. And I'm posting this beautiful photo I snagged from our mom and am reprinting it here without permission. I am an Auntierazzi!
When I heard the news from Adam I was at my weekly playdate and I was crying -- bawling -- with happiness. I put a sock in it once I realized I might be scaring little Finnegan. I've wanted to meet an Adam and Jeanne creation for a long time --- even back when I didn't like babies.
This is one of the best things to happen, ever. Now, if only Los Angeles would close forever and send everyone home, it would be perfect.
And hey, I've got tons of video of Hugo, and yes, I know this is a video blog that posts videos (using a delightful video site called motionbox.com). But today I can only think of this new life and how happy I am for two of the best parents a kid could ever have.
Y'all have a fabulous night and check back tomorrow for a new video blog of excitement!
* There's a story behind the Q. and yes, its great and maybe my bro will tell it. Stay tuned.
