Meet Elizabeth!

My second niece, Elizabeth Quinn, was born one week ago today. Look at this face:

She looks a lot like my father-in-law. I wonder if her cousin will also have this resemblance? They will be in the same grade and everything. Little Elizabeth will be scarcely two months older than my boy. This makes it feel just a little more real - but if I concentrate hard enough, I slide right back into denial.

I've really got to stop doing that.

30 weeks today. INSERT FOUR LETTER WORD HERE, EXCLAMATION POINT.
