We have no children of our own & the youngest of my nephews reached the age of majority at the beginning of last year meaning no children in the family at all.
Then I recieved a 'phone call from my younger brother,shortly before Christmas informing me that he is to become a father for the first time making me an uncle for the third time.
THEN I recieved a 'phone call from my elder brother informing me that HE is to be a Grandfather for the first time making me a Great Uncle for the first time.
IT GETS better!
Scan shows its a Great NIECE,first girl to be born into the family for,at least,7 generations.
COSMIC!!! :-p
