Auntie x 2!

Disclaimer - this is a delayed post...I have many drafts I've started, but have yet to actually publish. (New Year's resolution, perhaps - once I start a draft, I need to publish it!)

From Dec. 11-ish
My twin sister, Courtney, gave birth to her second child on Monday! I couldn't be more excited to have a niece. Leigh Lawrence Gray arrived December 9 at 10:19 a.m., weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and 20.5" long.

 Patrick, Courtney and Brett's first child will be three in February. We weren't sure how he would do 'sharing' his mommy with another child, but seems to be doing really well! He absolutely loves his baby sister.

Baby Leigh on Christmas
Leigh (2 weeks) on the left, Patrick (1 month) on the right. They look so much alike!

My sister made having a baby look so completely easy. First off, she's completely tiny (I'm envious!) and looked so compact (no swelling, all baby!) her entire pregnancy. Not only did she have Leigh on her due date, she went into the hospital at 6 a.m. and had the baby that same morning!

I must say, she's a cutie and looks so much like her big brother Patrick. Patrick, who seemed like a little guy at almost three years old, but now seems about 6! It's amazing how that changes when another baby comes into the picture.
