Change of Plans, New Nephew In the World

Newborn baby, my sister's week-old son Kashi Enrico Sridhar Mastronardi
My nephew, Kashi Enrico Sridhar Mastronardi. Nickname is "Kaz".

Hey all,

I was originally going to post about the denim prints that I had bought on sale. They aren't thick enough for jeans so I am considering a plan B.

But then this little guy was born this week, my nephew Kaz. It was a bit scary, since he's three weeks early but the doctors thought it was best for him to enter the world earlier. They made the right call, though he doesn't have much life experience to give his opinion. My sister gave me permission to share this photo.

I've seen Kaz on video calls and he's been mainly asleep. He twitches around while opening and closing his fingers, which are large proportionately to his body. His mom Divya and I postulate he may be a musician like her, his dad, and me. Or maybe he will be an artist.

While I don't want kids, I hope I can be a good cool aunt. I want Kaz to like me, since we won't be living in the same state, and that I can read to him. He's going to have lots of love.

Also, I'm going to be at Multiverse Con in two weeks, in Atlanta! It was touch and go, but I will post my paneling schedule soon.
