On Oct. 6, 2016, the most perfect little girl was born, and her name is Kenley Ann Kidd. She was a stubborn little thing, and a week late, making her mom's life a little stressful. But after a 14-hour delivery, she finally arrived. Unfortunately I couldn't be at the hospital when she was born, so right after she was, my mom FaceTimed me while she was walking in to see her herself. She was the most precious little thing I've ever seen. I was sitting in my roommates room at the time and all of us teared up when we saw her. I knew she was special right then and there.

I knew she was going to be trouble because from that moment I met her in person, I knew I would never be able to discipline her, scold her or even show the slightest amount of authority. But that's alright, because I'm her aunt! I don't need to do any of those things. I just need to be there when she's sick of her mean parents (sorry Kelsey and Dalton).

So the role I'm bestowing upon myself is "cool aunt." I'm glad I'm old enough to make her think I'm the coolest person out there, but young enough that I'll be able to relate to her.

I can't wait until she gets to the age where she likes loud toys and I can buy them for her because I won't have to hear it everyday, and she'll think I'm awesome because I let her have something her parents didn't (I'm sure that will come back to haunt me someday).

When I'm babysitting her on a weekend her parents go away, I'll definitely let her watch PG-13 movies because her parents won't, and then I'll proceed to get her all hopped up on sugar.

If she's having boy issues that she doesn't want to talk to her mom about, I'll be waiting for the call so we can go get ice cream and talk about it.

I never knew the feeling of loving a little human so much! I feel like she's my own kid half the time, and miss her so much when I'm not with her. Over the past couple of days I've spent with her during Thanksgiving break, I could tell we were going to be best friends by the way she smiled and giggled when she was around me. Clearly she likes me the best.

She also made me realize how sometimes life gets taken for granted, and to truly live in the moment. If it's been a week and I haven't seen her it's like she's a whole new person because she's changed so much. How does that even happen?

Last thing I'm just going to leave here. Kelsey and Dalton, I would NOT be mad if you somehow happened to get pregnant again with another child. If you don't want it, I would be more than happy to have it. Just a heads up.
