In Which I Am Proud

If you all will bear with me for a moment, I want to share some pictures of my new nephew. I am a very proud uncle, and I suppose it's my right to brag a bit about him. Take a look:


The Boss and I went down to the hospital to see Clayton last night. He is in perfect health, despite being a few weeks early. My sister was induced early due to a slightly enlarged liver and high blood pressure. Having those problems, combined with her epilepsy, her doctors didn't want to risk anything by letting her go full term. They did an amniocentesis to make sure that Clayton's lungs were functioning properly before going ahead with the induction.

So long as everything goes well today, Clayton and family will be going home tomorrow.

Because I am an equal opportunity uncle, I've got to share a picture of my niece, Clara. Don't want her to feel left out, after all.


There's nothing wrong with being a proud uncle, right?
