I'M AN AUNTIE!!! (...finally!)

after 19 hours of labor, nikki had a c-section to deliver the baby. turns out 'seamus' is a girl! a beautiful wee boisterous girl named roisin (roy-SHEEN) erin hanna. a more gorgeous name has never been heard. here's delicious wee miss thing:





i think she looks like her mama. what do you think?

proud papa, brian:


exhausted mama, nikki:


what else? well, there's one more month of suspense waiting to hear from unm law school regarding a final admission decision. but, in expert legal-speak, they won't even commit to a date. lookit: "Your application for admission to the UNM School of Law is now completeand will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. We will make every effort to send you a first response by May 1." i received this on february 15. i don't know whether to be happy or sad that i haven't heard from them yet.

lastly, i'm starting weight watchers today. it is the only diet that has ever worked for me. i am currently the heaviest i have ever been and though my beloved boyfriend loves me just as i am, finding clothes is becoming a problem. i'll update this blog with my weight loss, if for no other reason than to feel i'm responsible to someone or something. so, wish me luck.
