I'm an uncle again...

8 lbs, 5 oz (3770g), 20 inches (508mm), Riley Blake Colby. I already have a niece named Hollace; I call her God's Ultimate Trade: the girl that my mother always wanted, but to get her, we had to give up our father to lung cancer.

Somewhere along the line, God has to balance pain and suffering with hope and joy.

Congrats, Unk! I'm an uncle by marriage, and I've found it to be one of the best things about marriage. I got ready-made nieces and nephews without having to give up my only-child status!

Lucky you...I've been the oldest child and I can't seem to shake that off...but on the other hand, being single is just as good 8-)
