My s/o finally has a nephew. And this is likely to be the last child born in that generation of the family. Of all the children between him and his siblings he had been the only one to have boys. So he had nieces but no nephews...until two days ago! His brother's wife gave birth to their third child and it is a boy! This was probably going to be his last chance at getting a nephew because his sister is definitely not having anymore and I doubt his brother's wife will be either. This was her third c-section and I'm pretty sure they were only going to have three children regardless of whether they were girls or boys.
My s/o doesn't get excited about things easily but this is definitely making him happy. It will probably be awhile before we get to see the new baby in person since they live in a different state but he looks adorable in the pictures they e-mailed us!
Besides sharing the excitement, I would like to ask all of you if you have both nieces AND nephews or just one or the other? I have both but since my siblings and I had a falling out I don't see any of them anymore....so I just count my s/o's as my own instead!

It's funny the way things work.....My great-grandfather was one of 13 children and only 1 was a girl. Can you even imagine how babies she was?
I, myself, have a niece and 2 nephews....

That is amazing. I have an aunt whose oldest was a girl followed by FIVE boys. When she gave birth to her 7th child (long enough ago that the babies weren't given directly to the mother immediately after birth like they are now)the nurses had to undress the baby to prove to her that it really was another girl! My grandmother only had 4 boys out of her 11 children.
I have two of each from my sisters but like I said we don't speak anymore so I haven't seen any of them in over a year. (long time considering 3 of them are less than 5 years old)
