My sister Suzie's baby was born yesterday, at around 8 p.m. Keira Lea, 8 pounds, 4 ounces. I know you're not supposed to care which sex it is, but I'm really pleased she turned out to be a she. A little girl cousin for Amelia to boss around - er, I mean play with. And of course I have a cupboard full of girly clothes for her.

I told Amelia that Auntie Suzie had had a baby and that she was her little cousin, and Amelia smiled and said, "Come?" As in, "When are they coming to visit?" Alas, not any time soon. They live in Fredericton, near my parents, on the East Coast of Canada. I'm so bittery disappointed that I can't go over in April. There was a really great seat sale too. I hope we can go in the summer (Amelia and I), like we did last year, and have a nice long visit. That's six months away, though. I want to be there right now. Wah! (Now who's acting like a baby?)
