Baby Ronan’s Big Debut

While we were home, my oldest sister, Roberta, had her second child, a beautiful and well-anticipated baby boy named Ronan. This child is precious.  He is only the second boy in our family, the last was born in 1974. There are 17 girls! Need I say more. Now you understand why this little man’s birth was widely and eagerly anticipated by the entire family.

I still can’t believe it. If I hadn’t seen the outdoor plumbing for myself… I still would have been doubtful. We all have girls. 17 girls and only 2 boys… as you can see, the stats are slightly skewed.

Proud Nanny and Auntie J. hold Ronan for the first time. (I couldn’t even look at my mom, she had tears in her eyes, she was sooooooooo excited and so proud.)

Big sister, Drea meets baby Ronan for the first time.

Uh oh, not too happy. (She bounced back quickly and decided the little man wasn’t THAT bad…}

So snuggly and warm. Aw… life is good. Drea sang him a lullaby, it was the sweetest moment.

Big sister, Drea helps the nurse give Ronan his first bath.

 

To say he hated the bath would be an understatement…

 

Ten precious toes.

Still angry from the bath. Say… check out my first threads! Lookin’ good little man, lookin’ good!

Ronan and Mama. (He definitely LOVES his Mama!)

Ronan, the amount of joy you have brought to our family is infinite. You have blessed our lives so richly in such a short time already. I can’t wait to see you again and kiss your sweet face. Be good to your Mama, and Daddy. Be sweet to your sister.

Much love, little man! – Auntie Kat xo
