It's a nephew!

Ea · 08-16-2010, 03:16 PM

I've just spoken on the phone with my brother - and it's a nephew! My first, too

He was born yesterday evening after a long labour (poor sis-in-law!) They don't know what to call him yet

Typical of them, they take their time with things. And no visiting until later in the week - they want to take it quiet and get their "sea legs" as parents first so to speak (he's their first).

congratulations ea ! and congratulations to ea's brother and sister-in-law, and to the nameless nephew.

Ea · 08-16-2010, 03:34 PM

Thanks

I'm more excited about it than I thought I would be

zelda_pinwheel · 08-16-2010, 03:36 PM

well, of course you're excited, it's the first ! nobody knows yet what they're in for.

actually you can be excited for all of them, as the auntie. you can just give them back to the parents when you have had enough.

Congrats on being an Uncle.

Exactly my thought!

I didn't know that only uncles could have nephews

My official Danish title is "Faster" - means "father's sister"

Congrats!!!

Congratulations Ea, so now you're going to be busy babysitting the next couple of years

Little toddlers can be adorable when they're not screaming

You might need to put your roller skates on, when the time comes:

Thanks! I'm looking forward to when the user interface matures a bit, and spoken words can be used for mutually meaningful interaction

don't worry, i hear the firmware updates are really frequent at that age.

thinkpad · 08-16-2010, 04:17 PM

Think about all the wonderful books you will be able to read to him. Astrid Lindgren and H.C. Andersen certainly comes to mind.

Absolutely

Though I think Norse mythology, Grimm's Fairy tales and Arabian Nights. The good stuff (my dad got me addicted at a young age). Never really loved H.C. Andersen much.

Arabian nights are really good. I also liked a book called Kalles klätterträd
