<p>I am just overflowing with love and have to share! I met my new great-niece yesterday, she is almost 3 weeks old, she arrived 20 days early. So very itty-bitty and so healthy. She is one of those sleepy newborns that has to always be woken up to eat. That amazed me! I have on child and he never slept so long!</p>
<p>I'm so proud of my niece. She's just turned 22 and this was not planned at all. She's done a great job, had the exact birth she wanted, done great work on getting the breastfeeding going. I think because the babe was early she was a bit of a "lazy" sucker. She is not married to the daddy, but I adore him and even if they don't stay together forever and I think they are going to be great parents. And she worked it out that she's graduating in December. I"m so happy. I was so nervous and worried and shocked when she told me she was pregnant.</p>

<p>Just had to share. Life is full of blessings. Have a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend.</p>

My great nephew should be arriving tomorrow as they are scheduled for induction today at 41 weeks. I won't see him until Christmas but it is exciting to see such a tiny baby again.
