I'm a proud aunt!

Guys, I missed Glee last night, can someone fill me in? I promise you I was out and about doing very important things... like waiting on the arrival of my new niece, who finally decided to make an appearance at 11:47 last night. My poor sister's water broke early in the morning, 7ish, and very slowly progressed. Baby girl decided to take her time but she is certainly worth the wait!


Quorra Noelle weighs 6 pounds 9 ounces and is 18 1/2 inches long sporting a full head of hair.



Momma Heather is on the right, next to proud poppa, Romeo (pronounce Roe-may-oh, FYI) next to her. 



Then, there's me. A hot mess... minus the hot.
Unless you like greasy hair, gym sweat and puffy-ugly-cry-face.
Next to me is Romeo's brother, Angelo. 

I couldn't contain my excitement, I'll admit that I cried when my sister called on her way to the hospital. I cried when I got the picture text from her husband with their new baby. I cried when I held her. And... I might have cried on the way home, alone in my car when a sappy country song came on the radio.

Blame it on the hormones. 

Alas, my turn to pop out a baby will be here soon. In the meantime, I'll spoil little Quorra rotten. Love you baby girl! Happy birthday from your Aunt Jessica.  :)
