Old? You are ancient in the uncle stakes. Due to the general freakishness of my family - Mother born at end of WWI, eldest sibling born during WWII and me born during Vietnam War - I was an aunt before I was born, but my eldest half-brother's baby died two months before I made my appearance. I have no contact with my family, but if I did there's already two little blighters entitled to call me Great Aunt Rosamicula. Heaven Forfend.
You should manage very well, if your generally avuncular tone is anything to go by :-)
I feel your pain, especially as on my wedding day I inherited a 7 year old nephew who then proceeded to "Auntie V, Auntie V" me to death for the rest of the day.
This trend is sure to continue as my friends all start to fall off the "having kids is bad" wagon.
Actually, I was thinking of going for the tried and tested "inject a retro virus into unsuspecting host, to produce several clones after said host has been turned into some weird cocoon type thing".
When the technology is available for full and perfect clones from a vat, I'll consider it. Mixing my DNA with someone else's seems like a bad idea in so many ways. And quite frankly, I've seen how big a baby's head is. No chance.

That's going to be one perfect child. I can't see your sister allowing it to be anything else.
Niece or nephew, when will you know?

It still renmains a source of wonder to me that anyone in their right mind would want to boff a member of my family.

On the other hand, the screaming kids on the train on Thursday did leave me vowing never to sire a new race of Neils.
