A New Life

At 11:04 this morning I became an uncle. My sister-in-law gave birth to a 6-pound 12-ounce baby girl. Mother, father and daughter are all doing great. I can’t believe my brother is a dad.

A new human being has been born with her whole life ahead of her. A 21st-century baby. She could conceivably live into the 22nd century. I can’t imagine the changes she will see as she travels along the course of her life.

I love the world.

  1. Mazel tov! Being an uncle is the best! You get to enjoy the cuteness of a new kid while having someone to pass her off to when she needs to be changed! And when they get older…

    I adore my 3 nieces. Only thing I’m truly looking forward to about going home for a whole week for Thanksgiving. (Well, that and the fact that I’m buying myself a netbook…)
