Tuesday twin tidbit

I'm an auntie!!! My sister Amy had beautiful Madeline Paris yesterday at 8:34am. She weighed 8 lbs 6 oz and measured 21 inches long, which incidentally is the same as my sister's birth stats. It was so much fun to see and hold a little newborn again. I can't believe the girls used to be that small! Because of some health risks my poor sister was unable to get an epidural, so she found out a few hours before that she would have to go through it all natural. She said it was insanely painful, but she did it and Maddie is so cute! The girls are excited to have their new cousin and were blowing her kisses and calling her "bee" for baby.

I love those cheeks!













The happy cousins can't wait until Maddie can play with them outside!

She is too too cute! I am SO impressed that Amy made it without an epidural- something I would never want to attempt. Wow!

So many baby girls in the Monks clan! How fun.

Isn't being an auntie so fun? Oh, and the link that I posted on my blog is to all of Jamie's stories. Just click on any one of them; he wrote them all!

She is adorable! Congrats on becoming and aunt. Also, you look great! I'm still hoping and praying that you'll be my neighbor in about 6 months. :)
