Uncle Bill
As if becoming a father weren't enough, I am now also an uncle for the first time. Yesterday morning, my sister and brother-in-law welcomed their first child, a boy. He was a few weeks ahead of schedule, and will be staying in the hospital for several more days. The little guy was 5lbs, 3oz. at birth, and 18 inches long. There aren't any serious complications, but I'm sure it's hard for his parents not to be able to have him always by their side (he's in an incubator in the hospital nursery), and it will be even harder to leave the hospital without him. We are praying for all three of them.
