Whoo hoo - New baby!

My sister Libby had her baby last night at about 10:25pm!  It is a little boy they have named Arun.  The spelling is different from the usual Aaron, as he is actually named after the place in England where Ron (her husband) proposed - Arundle.  (Although, I don't think his full name is Arundle, just Arun.)  I like that it is spelt differently as this will make it easier for Rory to remember how to spell his cousins name.  It is spelt pretty much the way it sounds.  

Apparently Arun came out sucking his thumb and weighs 7.5 pounds or 3.4kg in the metric system.  

I am so happy for Lib and Ron, they got to have their home birth the way they wanted it, without any need to go into the hospital.  I'm really proud of Lib for sticking to her principles and doing it her way.  Mind you, she always has been a bit stubborn and done things the way she wants to and not the way convention or our culture usually states it the "right way".   But it usually works out well for her and proves that the "normal" way of doing things is not always the best way.  

So congratulations Libby & Ron!  I can't wait to come and chat and see the new bundle of joy in the family.   Oh, I am soooo excited!!!! 

Love peace and joy.
