I've been re-uncled
Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 - 6:05pm
My little sister gave birth to her first child, a boy they've named Maxton, this afternoon at 1:35pm while I waited in the hospital lobby with the rest of my family. Her husband got practically no sleep since he was up playing BF2142 until 3:30am and her contractions started in strong about 15 minutes later. No pics yet, but he's a cute little baby even though he looks like his father. 
I managed not to drop him, which is good.

Congratulations. I hope everyone is well.
Got any toast?
Re-Uncled. That's a great term. Congratulations, and remember, dropping a baby is bad, you have to dribble it.

I have to disagree. Just hop on it and take the recovery. Every time you see someone try to scoop a baby up and run it back they end up fumbling it themselves.

Maxton? Oh man, I'd better not let my brother find out about that name. His kids (oldest to youngest): Trenton, Payton, Carter Winston. My sister's kid: Mason. My siblings have an obsession with -on names, apparently.

Congratulations! And big cheers on the not dropping part - especially if you were subject to any 'baby output'.

Congrats. Maxton is a pretty cool name too.

Congrats m8....
Remember to spoil him rotten, thats what being a uncle is all about.
+. Give him a instrument/drum set early on.
It's important to start them early If it annoys the parents WHO cares
It's important to use him to annoy his parents as soon as possible. Also, drums are inherently awesome. Drum set + name Maxton ==> Mad pimp by age 10.

Congrats Stone.

I use the term "re-uncled" since my oldest brother already had twins. But he lives up in Jersey and my sister is local, so this nephew I'll actually be able to see more than once every couple of years.
Thanks for the well-wishes, all!
Hmm, drum set...

Congratulations man! That's a cute baby.

Looks like he'll be a scrapper. For now, he's just a cute little mini-scrapper. Right on. Buy him a Dropkick Murpheys album to go with that drum set. Maybe a scully cap.

Congrats!
"Re-uncled" reminded me of a related word that I enjoy:
avuncular (adj.)
1 : of or relating to an uncle
2 : suggestive of an uncle especially in kindliness or geniality
