Family

Tuesday I became an Aunty. My sister in law gave birth to Billie Pearl. Today we met her, she's a whopping 4 pounds bigger then Seb at birth but she's the sweetest little thing. Those tiny ears and toes, the soft newborn skin and the smell! The newborn smell is one of my most favorite scents.

It has made me nostalgic for the times we had a newborn, taking Seb home with no clue as to what was around the corner.

Their life is about to change dramatically, for the best, but they have no idea just how much that little lady will steal their hearts and minds. They don't no that next time they blink, Billie will have turned two. That she'll be climbing the furniture and repeating the naughty words us adults say. She'll be walking and asking for things, she'll be asking for a cuddle and calling them mum and dad.

I love the newborn age but I love every other age just as much, I love that I can converse with Seb, that he calls people by their name that he tells me what he wants to eat and calls every kind of meat 'chicken', I love that he sleeps through the night and that he gives me kisses.

I just love everything about these small people we are able to grow in our bellies and raise (but believe me there are traits and stages I'd rather forget), I'm beyond thrilled to experience the newborn stage again in just under 6 months but this time will be different, we'll be a little less clueless, it won't be the same as the first time but that's okay. I'm equally as excited to watch my sister in law experience all the firsts and be there to watch my first niece grow up.
