thursday early morning my phone rings and i don't recognise the number. "hello," i say as i am still groggily wondering who is calling me. i hear a voice respond that i really don't recognise - but since i didn't recognise the number, i am hardly surprised. the voice sounds a little breathless and faint and yet the person is speaking to me in a familiar manner. "i'm in labour," the voice let's me know and then it hits me.it's my aunt! but she was not due for a couple of weeks. ah well, babies, apparently they do things like surprise us. i leap out of bed and start running in confused circles. how do i find you? i'm on my way! no, don't try small talk, you're in labour. i'll be right there.
my new cousin finally arrived at almost 9 pm, and has been facsinating us ever since. this was him at one and a half days old. he is very generous with the expressive faces. and, it seems, too lazy to cry to often or too hard. i think i have become that obnoxious share pictures with everyone person. but... oh so worth it.

Fabulous photo and what an expressive face. I'm glad all went well.
thank you simon!
cover girl, i am such an obnoxious mother type right now. i think that little man is the most amazing thing ever.
he is so expressive carla. you should see what he does with his face when i kiss him. i think he's warning me to scale it back before i kiss off his features.
Oh he is so beautiful,Pandave! Congratulation to you and your aunt!
