Good news everyone!
I am now an aunt!
My brother and his girlfriend had a beautiful baby boy at 8am this morning! He's so cute!
About two weeks earlier than expected and now I can't wait to go home! Friday! One minor obstacle to overcome by then (criminology exam) but I'm sure it will be ok.
My brother sounded so proud and somehow more grown-up. I think he'll be a great dad, and as I told him so, his reply was that he hopes to be as good a parent as our dad. :)
