I AM AN AUNT!!!!!!

Today my sister Courtney had her first little kid Tanner Justen Watkins. Her due date was February 16, 2011, but i guess Tanner just really wanted to be born before the new year. Courtney's water broke on Monday totally unexpectedly. She didn't realize that is what was happening and kinda blew it off. But after calling her doctor, she decided she needed to go the ER to just make sure she was ok. She was admitted that afternoon and battled with having contractions for 2 days straight ( she is a major trooper). They were trying to hold her from having the baby so they could make sure the baby's lungs were developed but this morning they decided they couldn't keep her any longer. She had a C-section this afternoon and little Tanner was born at 4lbs. 8 oz. 17.5 inches long. He will be in the ICU for a couple weeks but is breathing on his own. I am so excited to be an AUNT!!!! And I am so happy for Courtney and Justen :)
