Le Petit Baba
Yesterday, by older sister Rebecca called me in a state of some extreme excitement.
"You're going to be an uncle!" she said.
"Huh?" I replied, being a little slow of thought at the time.
"Yay!" she said, when I realised what she was saying. Rebecca, after a long time trying with her hubby Sean, is preggers. Knocked up. Drinking for two.
I'm going to be an UNCLE!!! WOO-HOO!!!
Here's the scan she sent me last night. I think it's very clear. I can totally see my future niece/nephew anyway!
(Oh yeah, and congrats are due too to Babs, who's will soon be 'Cool Auntie Sarah")

It kinda looks a bit like an alien, doesn't it? Weird. It's got a tail an' all like!

Congratulations Uncle Matt! (And of course to Rebecca and all those involved - from conception to, well, everyone!)
Uncle Matt... wasn't he in Fraggle Rock? Or was that Uncle Travelling Matt? I can't recall. Anyways, I digress. Congratulations!

So apparently my niece or nephew is going to be an alien who looks like a cross between a peanut and a kidney bean. Rebecca and Sean will be like, SO proud.
Yes indeed, it was Uncle Travelling Matt in Fraggle Rock. He is truly an inspiration to all us uncle Matts.

Wait until she gets her second ultrasound - then he/she will even look even more different! Very cool thing, those ultrasounds.
Maybe she'll get one of the 3D ones - those are awesome!

There are no penalties for going Off-Topic on LWT, there are only more comments. Topics schmopics, it's all about making friends and influencing people (or something).
Calista, back up a second there, you can get 3D ULTRASOUNDS?! That's like, something outta Star Trek n' shit.

http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/ultrasounds/l/bl3dusindex.htm you are SO behind the times man, they are deadly!
Posted by: Babs | July 12, 2006 4:24 PM
Oh, yes! Yes you can, as Babs has so helpfully provided the link :-)

Congratulations! I recommend being an aunty (or uncle, if you prefer)
Posted by: annie | July 12, 2006 11:58 PM
Well, yes, I would definitely prefer being an uncle than an aunt. For one, there's less complicated and potentially irreversible surgery involved.
