I've been an aunt for 13 years as well (as with Florence, 13!?!?! where does the time go!). 11 years ago, my second nephew got born, and 2 years ago (or was it 3?) my first niece. I also have a nephew on the in-laws side, I believe he's 9 or 10... I always forget the years...
Thank you I think they'll try for at least one more, my sister-in-law really wants to have children. I wouldn't mind a niece - I could teach her all those things her parents don't know about computers and science

Zee !

Careful lass you may be warming !!! This could be a potential shum !!!!

Congratulations Ea! I have 1 niece and 3 nephews. It was always so exciting to welcome a new one into the family.

Congratulations! Now you can look forward for the lovely moments that you'll spend with each other (he'll have to wait until he's conscious of that)!

"potential" ? i'd say there was no doubt about it. but i've got nothing against shums living clear over in another country. in fact i frequently wish all of them did.

ha, the debugging ! i'm pretty sure that takes even longer than 18 years.

(although some may have fewer bugs than others.)

, That's more or less the way my sister dealt with her first nephew/my first son some years ago. As she will be around this weekend I'm really looking forward to see how she "behaves" confronted with my second son who just started crawling around.

To be frank: The first few weeks everyone waits for the firmware updates, parents included. But when the little one begins to react to his surroundings he'll throw you for sure. And you are always welcome to speak to him without pseudo-baby-babbling at him (leave that to others).

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 to all of you !
One question, though.
Did your nephew come with a manual ?

My sister has two boys. So I am an uncle twice over. I bet you'll spoil your nephew.

So are you now going to be called Aunty Ea?
