Wow, that's a great list of thanks! Your sister is crazy!!! I think it's a sign that babies keep finding you!
love, love, love all of this. And oh that picture of you with the baby, makes me want to wake up my own and hold her while she sleeps. I can still call her my baby right, even though she's almost 2?
