I’m an uncle!

[updated at 2:29 p.m.]

My sister gave birth to an as-of-yet-unnamed baby girl Lucy Remine Dahl this morning at 10:07. She weighed in at 7lb. 8oz., and is 19.75″ long! Baby, mother, and father are all doing well (despite the fact that both mom and dad have influenza B)!

Just as the baby isn’t yet sure what she’ll be called, J and I are unsure of what we’ll be called. We’re currently mulling over the idea of simply having the child Lucy refer to us as Doctor.

Hooray!

That’s a joke about “Doctor.” Probably we’ll let her call us whatever she wants, even if it’s “Late For Dinner.”

    Congrats to you and your extended (extending!) family

    You have plenty of time before she’s going to be calling you anything, so you can test out a variety of monikers as you visit her over the next 20 months.

    Oh! Congrats to your sister and her husband!
    It feels like it was just last year she was your little sis, a freshman at Wash U.

    Lucy is quite beautiful too!
