This post is dedicated to the love of my life, the girl who will seamlessly and selflessly trade her Bumble & bumble for Johnson & Johnson, who will say goodbye to Williams-Sonoma and hello to Fisher-Price, and who will avoid all parenting mistakes because her big sister has already made them.
Congratulations, Dan and Marta. Welcome to the Land of Boy.

Ah! How sweet and congratulations to your sister! You show the signs of being a GREAT real Mom!
Fun post. New babies are yummy!
That was so sweetly and beautifully put.
The picture is beautiful as well.
Congratulations to you and your beautiful sister!
Oh, that tugged right at my heart strings and tears came out! So beautiful.
I've only been an Auntie since November and it is so special. I love it!
Congrats to the beautiful family. I hope they are all feeling well.
Aww. Did she have to have a c-section???? I hope she is recovering well, and I hope you get to go see that squishy baby soon!
How exciting for your sister! The Land of Boy is such a great adventure!! I wouldn't trade it for, well, a bunch of girls. Boys are awesome! (and so are girls, I can say that because I am one, and I have the cutest little groups of nieces that I adore - but boys are too much fun!)
I loved that! Well said without just saying it. I've gotta learn to do that.
Congratulations to your sister! There's nothing like a brand new baby.
Great post. I do not miss those things I don't have any more! I don't want to go there again. LOL Congrats to your sister!
Great post...you and I have a lot of the same things.
YEAH!!! So sweet-congrats Auntie!
That's why it's great to have siblings have children after you--you can still enjoy the newborn babies without the work that comes with them!
Awwww...that's wonderful! Congrats to them and to Auntie Gab.
