#new uncle

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s first reaction about their new nephew.

Q: How do you feel about being a new uncle? Will: 2nd time for me, you as well (pointing to Kate) oh no, just the opposite

Kate: Can’t contain herself laughing at her husband!

The niece is healthy, 6lbs 12.6ozs, 18in long with a full head of black hair. Her Mom is also doing well, and you couldn't beat the smile off of my brother's face "with a fire truck" (his words). I honestly can't wait for my first tea party and game of dress up.

First Family Visit

The Poudels were dying to meet Nolan. They were ready to come wait for him before I was even in labor, and they were about to drive up from NYC when I went into labor on Saturday, April 5th. We knew our new family had to be at the hospital for about 48 hours after birth so we decided they'd come up the following weekend and spend quality time with us in a more comfortable setting. "Aunties" Andrea and Ojaswi (two of my childhood and adulthood best friends who are really like my sisters) were also coming up that weekend so it was going to be a Nepali style family party! 

The whole weekend+ was such a blast. Michael, Nolan, and I have never been so spoiled by the Poudels, especially by my mom and sister who stayed almost a week. They did groceries, made delicious, healthy home cooked Nepali meals 3 times a day, served us, cleaned up non-stop, and still had time to bond with Nolan. My sister even swept the floors and took Seru out on walks everyday! I'm blessed with the most loving and kind family. 

While the boys did their thing, my leading ladies kept me company and watched Nolan nurse. They were as happy as I was just to be in his presence and I got to spend lots of time with them all. 

This year, due to obvious reasons, I kept forgetting my birthday. Of course, Michael remembered and the Poudels didn't forget either. They got a cake for me, Andrea, and Nolan - the almost birthday triplets - and for Michael and me for our 2-year marriage anniversary which was just a few days later. Yup, April is a big month in our family! 

We made sure to step outside for at least a little while every day. We took walks around the Fellsmere pond which is just a 4-minute walk from us and we did trail walks/hikes at the Fells Reservation which is a 15-minute walk from us. 

Me: [Text message to youngest brother, an engineering student] We found out some additional details about the baby, and I wanted to let you know that you're going to have a nephew! :)

Youngest brother: [Actual phone call reply] Hello! I just wanted to call and say congratulations!

Me: Well, thank you! We're pretty excited.
