    Little Gavin seems so very tiny in comparison.

    Is this your first time to be an aunt?

    Would you like me to make you a t-shirt like Sophie and Courtney now wear that says I’m A New Auntie?

    I could add a few iron-ons like I did for them. ;)

    Wonderful news! I’m a lurker but had to say I have been feeling her pain since you said she was overdue!

    My firstborn is a Luke, too, and he was 9 lbs, so I feel I can predict this baby will grow up to be absolutely wonderful! It works that way, right? ;)

    P.S. Total killer scarf!

    Be still my womb. His cuteness melts me.

    So basically, your sister is simply a clone of you. And then came Caroline. Is Luke just another one of the batch??

    Sara says:

    What a beautiful baby! I have a baby Luke except he’s 6. Congrats!!

    That poor girl…8lbs, 15oz…that’s just wrong. Having experienced birthing a 9lb man-child myself, I hereby grant her the right to say she had a 9lb baby…what’s an ounce?? ;)

    So precious! My little boy’s middle name is Christopher too. Btw, in the word of my eight year-old, “You can rock a scarf!” You look darling as ever.

    Also, I still have to read your “rodentia duracell” post over & over, because I have never laughed so hard. :)

    Is it wrong that when I look at the pictures of your precious new nephew, all I notice is how great your bangs look? He is precious, but bangs are hard to pull off and yours look FABULOUS!!
