As most of you know, my younger sister had a baby boy just last month. One thing she hasn’t gotten yet is a baby sling.

I’ve been telling her to check out baby slings online from websites like SlingLings.com because you can find such great deals. Not only are they low in price, but you can find a unique style that you like. They are many to choose from too!!

If I didn’t already go overboard on spending this Christmas, I would of bought her one too. Oh well…there’s always her birthday in February which is coming up sooner than you know it. I’ll probably get her one then. LOL!

My sister uploaded some new photos of my nephew, so I decided to show a few here. The first photo is where he looks like the friggin pope with his hat like that. The second is of him sticking up his middle finger. LOL! These photos made me laugh when I saw them.

My nephew is over and staying for the night. He’s already crying up a storm. He’s so cute, yet so damn funny when he cries. I managed to snap some photo of him while he wasn’t crying. He’s all dress up like he’s ready for Christmas already with his little reindeer hat! LOL!

Yup…I’m talking about my nephew Marquis who was born just one week ago. He’s so amazing!! I love it when you hold him and you can see his eyes exploring and looking up at you. It’s so adorable. And I can’t forget about the little “coos” and “awws” he does. **too cute**

I was snapping away and taking photographs of him a little while ago. After all, he is one week old today. I can’t believe a week has past already!! Time flies. LOL! Anyways, here is the best photo of the bunch. I have to show my sister Tanya this because we still need to send out the birth announcement cards to family and friends. Hopefully we’ll use this photo.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I am now an aunt!!

Here is how the day went:

I was on the computer Sunday evening. It was around 12:45am I went to the bathroom. I heard someone in the bathroom on the top floor. I got out of the bathroom and poof my sister appeared right at my bathroom door. I said, “Holy, you scared me!” She’s like, “Man, I don’t feel good and I can’t sleep at all!”

She then goes on telling me about these pains she’s feeling. She’s pacing back and forth downstairs because she just couldn’t sit because it was hurting her too much. I finally convinced her to go wake up our mother because she would know what to do. We woke her up and she’s confirmed that my sister may go into labour soon. My sister and mom went back downstairs and she kept pacing. I said we need to keep track of the contractions. So I went upstairs to let my older sister know what was going on. She too came downstairs.

We stayed downstairs for about another hour and a half thinking about what to do, if we were going to go to the hospital, and what if it’s just false labour she’s having. Anyways, we finally made a decision and all four of us drove to the hospital. Thankfully we caught all green lights!! Gotta love driving past 2am because there’s no one out there. lmao.

We dropped off my pregnant sister and my older one who was going to stay with her. I had to head home with my mom because I had two tests which where back to back in the morning and I didn’t have any sleep yet. It was 3-something am by now.

We finally got home and parked the car in the driveway. I just stood out of the car when I received a text message on my cell phone. It was from my older sister Lisa who said, “Tanya’s water just broke!!” I told my mom and she’s like omg the baby is going to come soon. We then went inside the house to let my dad know what was going on. I went downstairs because I had to sleep and was tired as heck. About 10 minutes later I get a call from my older sister Lisa and she’s like, “Tanya just had the baby!!” It was now 3:33am.

It was crazy and it all happened so fast! My sister’s water broke right in front of the registration desk and she was yelling at the lady that she could feel a head coming out of her vagina. The nurse took her to a room to check her out and yes indeed, she could see the hair from the top of the baby’s head already. There was no time to call the doctor as the baby was coming out NOW! So a bunch of nurses delivered her baby. It was a whole few minutes and my sister said she didn’t feel any pain. The baby just slipped right out!! And no…she didn’t have an epidural. It was all NATURAL!!

I can’t believe it myself because everyone complains about the pains from labour. The only time my sister felt pain was the contractions at our house. This is so surreal. I still can’t believe I’m an aunt now. He’s such a cutie pie too. I went to visit my sister after I was done school, which was at 11am and didn’t leave until 4pm. The baby is such a bundle of joy and he pooped twice while I was there. It was cute!!

Here are some photos of him. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet my nephew Marquis Anthony…..
