excellent, being an uncle has got to be more fun than being a dad. although i'm not looking forward to my potential uncleness anytime with my sister being only 18 and all.

wooohoooo congratulations! all the best part of having a baby and none of the stretchmarks!
make plans to babysit as often as possible. dont worry that you dont know anything about dealing with babies--your brother doesnt know any more than you do. babies are great fun and it just gets better as they get older.

your official job as uncle is to keep your brother from annoying his wife while she is preg.
set it up now that he can call you and rant, or email you, or go out for a beer and do so.....
believe me, when I was growing babies (and that's what she is doing, growing a human being) the last thing I wanted to hear was my husband whining.

But unless you have a very strong stomach, wait until after the kid is potty-trained before you start offering to sit on him/her.:p

I bet husbands don't like hearing their wives complain and nag and have to deal with their emotions while they're pregnant either. :p

My brother is not a whiner by any stretch of the imagination.

I demand you apologize to the man!:mad:

he will be once her pregnancy hormones set in, or at least she might percieve him to be.
believe me midnight cravings, getting in trouble for no reason, and having to help her shave her legs aren't fun.

I was her offical "punching bag"... I got the scars to show it...
man her nails were sharp!

Ha, I can understand that.
And being an uncle can be like a grandparent. You can spoil the kid rotten and then let the parents deal with the fallout. ;)

Make sure to get the toys that make the noise (TTMTN). And buy plenty of spare batteries for the toys.
Of course, the above advise almost got me kicked out of my sister and brother-in-laws house one Christmas. The only thing that saved me that fate was promising I wouldn't get any more TTMTN for my nieces and nephew, unless they were educational toys (which we all know, kids don't like as much as regular toys). Also, I almost got kicked out of my friend's house, after getting his youngest son a TTMTN (it was a giant ball that you sit on, and when you bounce on it, it will either count or recite the alphabet in either english or spanish).

who?
oh, and when I was in labor with my first one, I was holding my husband's hand during contractions he said "squeeze as tight as you want you won't hurt me"
he ended up with a dislocated finger and needed 2 stitches from where I dug my nail into the space between his thumb and his index finger.

You must corrupt your nephews! Nothing annoys a sibling more than their kids idolizing their crazy uncle. :)

That's the best! It's like having all the fun aspects of having kids, but with the ability to send them home once you've had a fair chance to corrupt them and warp them into something entirely different than their parents ever wanted!
Buy lots of candy. :D

The only downside is when she uses her evil sister nervestrike punch of doom on my arm whenever they start mischief. Because somehow or other, I always seem to be blamed.
Case in point: My eldest nephew got in trouble at summer camp for using itching powder and shaving cream on his unsuspecting bunkmates. I got blamed!
...
...of course, I provided the itching powder and shaving cream... but still! :(
