I
have
a
nephew!

Last night at 9:20 my sister gave birth to the most incredibly beautiful baby boy I have ever seen in my life.  He is so amazing.  He's not even 24 hours old yet and he's already got chubby little cheeks!  He likes Daddy a lot - Matt held him for a long time afterwards while Mommy got cleaned up.  I think they will get along famously.

Jacob is so incredible.  I have over five hundred pictures to edit from last night - none of these three have been touched up at all yet, but I couldn't wait to show the world how beautiful my nephew is!

The most amazing thing happened while I was there.  The entire time I was with my sister, I did, of course, think to take pictures, but I was far more concerned about her safety and well-being.  I'm guessing that's pretty normal, she's my sister.  But as soon as I could see Jacob's head, something just clicked inside of me - just this absolute feeling that this is exactly what I want to do.  I don't think this could ever get old for me.  It's the most incredible experience I can imagine and it's new every time.  I am so happy that I'm pursuing this as a career!

Jacob Ransom Franchetti, I LOVE YOU!
