We're keeping our fingers crossed, haven't heard anything from the BiL yet. When Mom had me, it was 29 hours and this little girl was estimated to weight more 2-3 weeks ago than I did at birth, plus she's my Sister's first. Then, during her last Doctor's appointment a few days ago, he thought a C-Section might be needed!

Joe Handley Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Sounds like she hasn't been the least bit fussy at this point either! They have a room for the next couple nights and Dad and I will be able to go and visit them tomorrow, then they should be going home on Monday.

1930fordpickup Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Congratulations. Glad everyone is OK. If you are a first time Uncle we can advise on all the good loud toys for you to buy, because that is what a good uncle does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be old enough that I like won't have a chance to be a Dad myself, nut you do have to be careful with such purchases, those can always comback to bite you if their parent has the money once you have a kid?ffrom Luckily when Mom did that to her oldest living sister back in the 60's, who then vowed revenge when on her when she became a Mom, my Aunt didn't have the money to return the favor when I was born! All that said, a good friend from when I worked at the local HTU have already been conspiring with me to get her into R/C Cars and I want to get her interested in models too.....I'm still hoping that Revell can do a Cruze Ramirez or Sally Carrera snap kit....if not both some day! Both parents are artistic, her father builds Gundams as well, both grandfathers have turn wrenched and driven trucks and Dad spent decades in the railroad industry, then she is still part Handley, so there will be a natural interest in such things there anyway. This will be an interesting journey from here on now, no matter how things go. Edited October 20, 2019 by Joe Handley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Joe I am North of 50 so I will not be a dad unless I meet a girl that has kids. So i have been safe from all of my purchases. I somehow never had to babysit kiddo's overnight from my brothers and sisters mostly because of my rule no diapers. Just remember my Uncle rule, You always have a shoulder to lean on and an ear to listen when they need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
