My sister just had a baby. By just, I mean at 3:40 am on the 5th of October. It's a little weird, being halway around the world and trying to figure out the time difference and that. They named him Paxton. I'm not sure if there is a middle name, I only talked to my slightly-clueless brother for a few minutes.
Unfortunately, I really don't like the idea of babies. Which has made it hard to feign enthusiasm ever since I found out she was preggers. She doesn't like my jokes about post-natal abortion, I don't like hearing about how the kid kept moving on her bladder and making her have to pee. That stuff grosses me out. I'm glad that she and her hubby are happy and all, but I keep finding myself referring to the baby as "it" rather than "him", so I am glad that I heard from my brother and not my sister. I would have tried not to laugh when I heard the name Paxton, but I don't know if I could squeal and say "that is so adorable" the way she would want.
On the bright side, now that my parents have a grandchild they have nothing to expect from me :-D

Hee hee- I have to agree with you- even though it's snarky, I just don't like babies! If, and that's a big IF, we decide to have kids, it's adoption all the way!
You never know though, when you meet the kid, he might be really cute!
I'm more of a dog person than a baby person, but I'll keep an open mind about this Paxton character!
