He kept psyching my sister and brother in law out for a week or so, and then made his grand appearance in the wee hours of Friday, April 20th.  I was out of the apartment all day while she was in labor, which I think is a good thing, because I would have been texting my brother in law for updates every 5 minutes!!  <\/p>\n<p>Big Nate came 6 weeks early and weighed under 5 lbs.  Naturally he is spending some extra time in the hospital to beef up and get strong enough to go home!<\/p>\n<p>My sister is doing great, as is my brother in law and 2 13 year old nieces.  As my BIL says, &#8220;they&#8217;re excited now, but Baby hasn&#8217;t come home and cried all night yet!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I wish so much I was with my family right now.  I think they know it, but in case they don&#8217;t, here I am telling the world that if I had the cash and time off of my new job to fly home for a week, oh I&#8217;d do it in a heartbeat!  Saving my funds now means a longer trip in September, when he&#8217;s 4 months old and up for some play time!  <\/p>\n<p>Nate, your best days are ahead of you.  You&#8217;re going to laugh and cry, have good and bad days, feel on top of the world one day and feel completely pancaked the next.  If I could tell you anything right now, it&#8217;d be that it&#8217;s all normal and you have the most amazing family to help you through it.   Until we meet this September! <3\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m an aunt to a brand new baby nephew! Welcome to the world Nathan Lee!
