Welcome, Flapjack!

My nephew (son of my brother John and the lovely Kristen) decided that waiting for his proper May 15 due date wasn’t going to happen. Why do that when April can be so amazing?

So one week ago today he entered the world 4 weeks early, at a little over seven pounds.

Welcome to the world, Muffin!

Of course his name isn’t really Flapjack, but I don’t feel right broadcasting his name out to the tens of people who read this blog (zero of whom follow me on bloglovin, I’m irrationally upset about bloglovin). So he’ll be Flapjack here for the time being. Plus, my brother and had a decades-long joke that the first of our kids would be nicknamed Flapjack.

I went out and bought him some subversive baby gear for later.

Lest you think I’m completely deranged, I also got him a Sophie giraffe toy. Every baby needs a Sophie.

Can I tell you how happy I am that we had the baby shower in early April and didn’t wait ’til early May?
