New great niece. Born in London, Eng. this morning. Eden Rose. Of course she's beautiful. My baby sister is now a grandmother!!!
She's already booked a flight for a month from now, I think! (lives in DC.)

Awww, congrats on the new kidlet in the family!
Thanks everyone. We are all so excited. I remember when my sister was born, I was 10 and to see her 3 children all grown up and one a parent now!!! Just amazing!
Congrats, nswef! I love the name! May you have many years of joy with her!

It is a really pretty name and very London--Carnaby Street and Twiggy cool.
we're hoping Eden Rose has an English accent of some kind....mother is from Georgia and dad Washington DC...
If she goes to preschool/daycare there, there's a good chance she'll at least have some kind of hybrid accent! In my DH's Scottish immigrant family, he never went to preschool, but his brother did. My husband has a Scottish accent--acquired through only having interacted with other Scots in his formative years--but my BIL does not. The accent for my husband has been a blessing and a curse--people love the accent, but then they think he's faking it when they learn that he has lived here pretty much all his life. I can vouch that he is not faking it, although he does have a propensity to lay it on a little thick at times. And as he gets older, he seems to channel his mother's broad Glaswegian speech patterns a lot more.

How interesting Catherine. I know my husband's Maryland (southern) accent increases when we go to North Carolina to visit his Mom's side of his family. She had a pretty strong southern accents and lived in MD for 50 of 75 years.
