1 + 1 = 3

My brother and his wife had their firstborn yesterday. He took us all by surprise, arriving a full month early.

I am taken aback by the emotions that have flooded me upon hearing the news. I'm so proud of both of them. For being faithful. For having a natural birth. For being parents. I'm longing to hold their tiny boy {just 4 pounds 13 oz} and smell that lovely, warm, newborn scent. And I'm surprisingly anxious, knowing as I do that this disarmingly small human being brings with him monumental changes. I wish I was there to help. To hold. To let them get some sleep. 

I love you both. No-- I love you three. :)
