Auntie Stompy

It's been a mad couple of weeks... a lot has going on in my life and as a result, I've had little time to post on The Swamp. And as a result, I have some long overdue news to brag...

On 9th June 2011, I became an auntie for the first time after CutLuce and DesignerMonkey's first progeny finally made her appearance, about a week overdue) at 4.39 am.

This of course means that DeepSpice is now an uncle for the first time and BallFiend and Thumper have their very first First Cousin (they already have a few cousins of the third or fourth or once-or-twice-removed variety, or something like that anyway).

It's all very exciting and I am very much enjoying getting to experience a newborn without all the horrible sleep-deprivation. No such luck for the long-suffering CutLuce and DesignerMonkey.

Now this little bubba just needs a Swamp-handle... I will be naming her soon, once her personality shines through, but for now, she can be Cuz1, in the hope that Cuz2, and even Cuz3 and Cuz4 will be along in the next few years... because, oh yes! there's more news...
