My sister had her baby on Wednesday, after a grueling 2 and a half hours of labor. :rolleyes: 😃 She said everyone else on the floor was giving her dirty looks for the rest of the day. Anyway, [here](http://palmettohealth.com/births/babies/show.cfm?ID=11439)’s the first picture of baby Alyssa. ---

Awww, she’s so cute! I hope I get to be an aunt sometime down the line. It’d be so much fun! But seeing as my brother is just shy of 22, I can wait. ---

Wow, she is beautiful, and so alert-looking too! Congrats! (My brother and I only took about an hour each to be born, so mom can’t use a long labor as a guilt trip) ---

Thanks everyone 🙂 She does look a lot cuter than the other babies at the hospital. And I’m not biased at all, nope, uh uh. 😃 **gigi** : Wow, an hour each? Now my sister has something to try for next time she has a kid. **whiterabbit** : My sister is a little shy of 22 herself. She had to start young so she could beat me. She never could let me do anything first. 😃 Fresh-squeezed baby…I don’t think I’ll ever stop laughing ---

> [@Seren](#): > > Tlittle shy of 22 herself. She had to start young so she could beat me. She never could let me do anything first. 😃 Well, there’s the lack of a girlfriend on his part (unless there’s something he ain’t telling us) as well. And I’m not saying 21 is too young, just that there’s lots of time down the road. Our parents were 22 and 23 when I was born, so it’s not like I’d have a problem if he decided to make me an aunt!
