It's a girl

The news came electronically, and the excitement is palpable.

'It's a girl' the title said, and the news, shared with the uncles-to-be filled us all with a renewed sense of wonder about the neice that we haven't yet set eyes on, but who we know is growing by leaps and bounds.

There have been a whole string of males born in our family. In fact there are no females among my cousins who bear the same family name, so this will indeed be a first. What a wonderful gift for all of us! A new chapter about to begin, and all the wonder and excitement that comes with it just around the corner.

Can't wait.
