I Have a New Nephew

My sister finally had her baby boy!  For the fourth time, I'm an uncle.  This is, however, the first grandchild on my side of the family.  And, really, it's pretty special when your sibling has a child.  Throughout her pregnancy, we chatted about a ton of stuff related to her health and to the approaching delivery.  So, we were pretty frank about things because it sort of went along with some of the development and other things that we learned during the semester.  That being said, however, I was unprepared to be scrolling through photos that she'd sent and seeing her breastfeeding.  Seriously, could've used a heads up on that one guys.  You cannot unsee certain things, like your sisters' boob for example.  Pictures of the little man to follow.

Last Sunday, my sister-in-law had a baby. When my wife returned from a business trip, we drove up to Spartanburg to visit the newbie and his parents. FYI: I love the shell-shocked look worn by brand-new parents in the immediate chaos and ectasy of realizing that they are completely responsible for a brand new person, a blank slate, a life they created.

I'm not so naive that I think it won't happen to me; I'm fully aware that, one day, I'll have the same damned countenance on my ugly mug.

Here are a few photos of the new little man.

Barely a week old and he's already mastered sing-alongs.

Welcome to the world, kiddo.
