The Wiggler

Well... I cant believe I am an Aunt... I truly didnt know that you could fall in love instantly, but found this out the moment I met Ellen.
Ellen Crane Kim was born in September 2007. Although it was a joyous experience, unfortunatly my sister had a very tough delivery and without going into too much detail, she was unable to give 100% care to Ellen for the first few months of her life. Different family members went down to Maryland to take care of Ellen and I was lucky enough to get two weeks of baby nurse duties. She is so adorable, and will definitly be a handful. The best part about it is that I think it brought me so much closer to my sister. It took helping in a time of crisis for us to come together and realize how important it is to have each other. My mother has told us since we were little, just how lucky we were to have each other and we never quite believed it, but now I understand. I think thats why Rebecca will indeed end up having another baby, because having a sibling is so important.


It makes me think about how wonderful it must be to have a child of your own, but at the same time when I am feeling ultra mushy and depressed because I dont have one...I look at this one to remind me that the best thing is being an Aunt because you can hand her back to her parents and say "see you soon"
