I've always been great...

But as of today, I am a great uncle! My nephew and his wife had their baby boy this morning. 2 months premature due to some complications but so far things look good. 5Lbs, 1oz 18 inches long.
His name is Thomas. :-)

Yup. His lungs are a little under dev. but he's breathing on his own.

I'm sure he can expect his great-uncle to spoil him rotten.

Shawnee123 · 07-07-2009, 02:11 PM

As it should be!

Isn't it enough that I'll be teaching him about hair and make-up, how to mix an apple-tini and which bars have the cutest guys?

congrats, Sheldon! Enjoy the little bugggar!

I know I'm fighting a losing battle, but I think you should be called a grand-uncle. It makes no sense to me that your sibling is grandmother or grandfather but you are a great-uncle.
