My New Nephew: Truman Forest Aitkens

Last Friday we welcomed a new addition to our family. My sister, Julie, after a very long and hard pregnancy gave birth with 2 pushes (TWO!!!) to the new little man, Truman Forest. Julie was actually preparing to take a nap when she said to the nurse "i think my epidural may be wearing off, I feel something". After I convinced her to let them check her, we discovered that she was about to have the baby! I mean what would have happened if I hadn't told her to just let them check... "Uh, nurse, why is my crotch crying?"

We didn't know the name beforehand which is something my husband and I did as well. I mean who wants to hear other people's opinions on the name you've carefully chosen for your child? I don't! It also adds to the excitement of the day since we already knew he was a boy. Truman is such a good, unique but traditional name.

The best picture, in my opinion, is the one of all the cell phones taking pictures. It is very representative of the times we live in.
