I'm a New Aunt

In my last entry, I mentioned how my sister-in-law was ready to give birth any second. It turns out I was right! Literally, she was squeezing out the kid as I typed and I didn't even know it. So now I have a niece. Her name is Cosette and she has a head full of dark brown hair. My parents are racing out to Iowa City first thing in the morning. I'm dying to see her. My brother says she's adorable and since that's a word I've never, ever heard him use, she really must be. She's going to be a daddy's girl.
