Bouncing Baby Boy!!!!

[MrRottweiler]

At about 10pm last night I became a first time uncle to a boy. 6lb 7oz. Mum and baby are fine although there were some complications so a cecasarian (sp) was done. I'm visiting after work and when he's old enough to hold a cue I'll be working on that cue action and jumping on the gravey train

In complete contrast to that great news earlier yesterday I was informed that my 31 year old cousin was found dead at home by his bro and sis on Saturday morning. Its being treated as an unexplained death but there seems to be a likely explaination.

Oh dear, such contrasting news, I don't know what to say Mr.R!

My condolences for your cousin's death.

On the other hand, (an old cliché, I know), the circles of life, a new baby in the family, congrats! I'm sure you'll enjoy being an uncle and this boy will be happy to have you for an uncle. You two will be having a great time together before he's old enough to hold a cue!

Just like Nina said ... pains and joy mixed.

My condolences for your cousin's death.

And I'm sure also you will be a great uncle. If the little fella doesn't like the cues ... you still can sing together and play piano four hands!

Well,mixed news indeed!

I'm sorry to hear about your cousin's death

But let's focus on the positive things!
Congrats on becoming an uncle.

Thanks to you all for the kind words. I saw him yesterday and I don't know what to say. He's tiny

He doesn't do much either so I'll check back when he's 18 and let him take me to the boozer.
