Her name is Evangeline Alice ("Eva") and she's just beautiful! (Alice was our Grandma's middle name). She's got 2 older brothers who are 6 and 4, and who seem quite happy to have a baby sister! I'm very close to my nephews and see them almost every day, so I've been bursting with excitement waiting for Evangeline. I saw her this morning on my way to work and can't wait till 5 so I can go back to the hospital to see her again! I will be posting photos later for anyone who's interested.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Thank you! I definitely will, probably tonight after I've been to the hospital again. My sister has 15-year-old stepkids (a boy and a girl), so this is sort of the first niece and sort of not It also means that my BIL now has five kids! Crazy!

She was spoilt rotten by everyone the entire fortnight lol! Sheesh I even had to go get all the character autographs for her, as she didn't want to meet them lol!

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Yup Smedley, I remember your cute little niece. My sister and I bought Eva a Minnie Mouse costume at WDW and a Tink costume at the Miami Disney Store, so hopefully by the time she's big enough we'll take the kids to DLR for the first time! Thanks 5BR and Bloona! They came home from the hospital today. Apparently she's looking around her princess-themed nursery with wide eyes ...
