Diary of An Aunt

After great anticipation, Hadassah Rein Broersma, was born early Saturday morning, January 6, 2007. She weighed 8lbs 15 oz and was 22 inches long. She has reddish hair and a beautiful round face. For more details and pictures see http://reubenspot.blogspot.com/ (Reuben's blog).

I've never been this closely connected with a newborn baby (at least at an age where I am consciously aware of the fact). When I was holding Hadassah, I didn't want to put her down or leave the hospital or Fergus. I really am quite sad that we live so far away. But I promise to spoil her anyway. I can't wait to see her grow up, to give her lots of cuddles and advice as she grows up.

If I can love my sister's daughter this much, imagine what I would feel towards my own?!
