Welcome to the world Vera!

She is here! My baby niece Vera, was born on 2nd August in the wee hours of the morning. She is a little bigger than Gwyneth at birth.

I haven’t gotten around to look at her for a long time due to the visitation hours restrictions. But, from my short 2 hours with her, I can say that she is the opposite of Gwyneth - she hates the cold and she doesn’t really like noises.

She still has her baby smell, and she smells awesome!

Vera is still not coming…

If you have noticed, there has been a Vera tracker on my blog.

According to the widget, Vera is suppose to be born really soon. But, there is no sign that she wants to come out anytime soon!!!

Waiting patiently for the moment that our entire family will scramble to the hospital - Grandpa, grandma, the daddy, the mummy, gwyneth, the maid, and me in tow.

Meanwhile, I’ll just endure G’s non-stop screaming in my ears, the night bickering over nonsensical things like her story books, and the frequent punches that she gives me aongside of her trying to steal my glasses (or breaking them).

Vera is coming

My baby niece, Gwyneth, has brought much joy into my life.

She fights with me at night over the telephone; punches and kicks me, and pulls my hair and clothes. She whines and charms me into doing things for her. She pulls things out of my drawers and conveniently disposes of them into the bin. She destroys my precious gems and tears my work up. She is like the sister that I never knew existed.

It hasn’t quite settled in, but I have another niece on the way!

Vera will be born anytime this week.

The thought of the hustling and bustling around another kid in the family is getting me excited!

Our family is praying that Vera will be a quieter version of Gwyneth, more of a thinker and less of an athletic little girl who climbs onto chairs, beds, and stairs whenever she can slip away.
