Just call me Aunt Cari

It’s official. My brother’s wife gave birth at 4:30 this morning to a healthy baby boy. Everyone is doing well. More details and pictures when I have them.

My baby brother is a father. Bizarre. He’s going to be an amazing dad…

  1. After a nephew, a niece and another nephew four weeks ago, I can honestly say, unequivocally, there is NOTHING better than being an Aunt. Nothing.

    Congratulations – enjoy hugging and kissing and loving and spoiling that little boy to bits. Can’t wait to see pictures.

  3. Congratulations! i vaguely remember what that is like. my first nephew was born when i was 9 and although he is 26 now – we are still great mates. i am expecting to be a great aunt in the next few years! how scarey is that.

    I can’t wait to see pics of you and the little fella.

  4. Cool! I think I’d really like being an aunt, but it’s highly unlikely to happen… my brother’s not all that social.

  10. Congratulations! I absolutely love being an aunt–you get to play and to spoil and then to send them home. Fun for everyone! (Although, it’s prudent to keep a cap on the spoiling . . . unlike grandparents, aunts have not earned the right to spoil their sibling’s kids, and there’s always the [theoretical] chance of revenge if you go too far, like, buying that set of drums . . .)

  12. Mazel tov!!! Not only will you be an awesome aunt, but you will no doubt be the baby’s coolest relative. While they may not be of much consequence now, just wait until you start taking him to rock shows. Huge congratulations. Glad everyone is well. Xxxx.

  17. Congratulations, Auntie! My little brother became a first time father 6 weeks ago and it’s been wonderful watching him take on this new role.

    And isn’t the smell of freshly bathed baby just grand?

  24. I can’t get over it. Your “little baby” brother is a father. It was just yesterday that he was playing video games all day and trying his best to annoy his big (actually, little) goth sis.

    CONGRATULATIONS!
