New Baby

My sister had a baby this morning. Her third. This is my mum and dad's seventh grandchild, sixth grandson! Mum was so happy on Skype this morning. My sons were leaping around. I felt happy, and sad.

This is the fourth baby my sisters have had (with one more due in January). I have not been in Australia to enjoy any of them until they were well past the newborn stage.

I'm looking forward to some photos. Unfortunately I cannot look forward to any baby cuddles. Sad. But not as sad as I was a few years ago when my first nephew was born. I must be getting used to not being there.
