A Christmas Baby!

My sister had her baby at home on Christmas Day! As suspected by me, my little nephew and my son Jo went into labour late Christmas eve. She did not tell me it had started!! So I spent the evening drinking a lot and wrapping pressies and peeling the vegetables and went to bed at 3am in the end which is VERY late for me these days...at 6am the phone rang: me: "Whats going on?" sisters husband Jim: "What do you think is going on?" I got up, showered, dressed, gulped coffee and watched my son open his stocking and was over to Jo and Jim's by 7 am - met the midwife, Sue, and held Jo's hand through a couple of contractions and then Lewis (3 year old nephew) woke up so off me and him went back to my house....I spent the rest of the time marching about checking my phone every three minutes and cooking loads of food and keeping the boys from going mad with excitement...finally at 2pm the phone rang and Jim, in tears, told me I had a new nephew and could we come over asap and bring Lewis to meet his new brother! OH he is so sweet and cute and new and soft and lovely. I am so in awe of my sister, giving birth is hard hard work and she was very scared but overcame all her fears and had her dream home birth, followed by a bath, Christmas dinner, lots of visitors and a big sleep in her own bed with little newborn tucked in next to her. CONGRATULATIONS JO & JIM & LEWIS & NEW ONE! Love Auntie Samaya
