Here, in my bizarre little world, lots of things happened during the last few days! I was thinking of sharing them with you in a big ‘news update’ post, but I wouldn't like to diminish their significance. So, I’ll give them to you in parts.
Part 1!
I’m an uncle!!!!
I woke up on Thursday, the 3rd of April, to see an email from my brother that his baby was born! The baby was due later this month, around the 20th, but he decided to arrive early. My sister-in-law had some minor discomfort during Wednesday evening, but not something major. So, she decided to stay in bed and rest. Around 2:20 am her water broke. So, they drove fast to the clinic and by 5 am, they had a baby! From what I know, that’s quite quick!
She and the baby boy are both healthy. He was born around 2.8 kg which is a bit small, but his appetite is quite strong and he’s doing well. Since Sunday, they went back to their place. I've talked to both of them and my parents who are in Athens to help them out. I don’t think you could keep them away anyway. I’m visiting them with JJ the beginning of May. We had booked our tickets in advance and I had in mind the original due date of the 20th. I was even told that fist babies sometimes come late anyway.
I've received a dozen of pictures which I can’t share with you, since it’s not my baby and there are child protection regulations. So, instead I’m leaving you with a picture of the baby in Roger Rabbit! Our baby is extremely adorable and cute. Believe me when I say that, I'm a totally impartial judge.

CONGRATULATIONS, Uncle Nik! That's awesome! That's great! I'm so very happy for your brother and his wife, your parents, and you. A new baby is so much fun (strike that, I meant WORK...nah...FUN! HAHAHA).

Yes, these are very exciting news, especially since he's a first!!! :-D
DeleteCongrats! Being an uncle is great! You get all the fun and can hand them back to mama and papa when they're bad or stinky! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I think as well. I could be the cool uncle living in London. It will be so much fun!
DeleteCongrats Uncle Nik. I have to tell you I love being an uncle. You get all the benefits without any of the baggage that comes with being a parent.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I think it will be amazing being an uncle. I can't wait to meet him...
