Congrats!
I mean, depending on how removed you are from the situation, aunt/uncle-dom is a great place to be. You can have all the fun of BABY without any of the responsibility! I've been an uncle for almost two years now and my personal verdict is that: it is awesome.
Of course, there was a good chunk of time before being a baby-momma brother that I was really worried for my sister, not to mention DAMN I AM OLD. But once things on that end start to sort themselves out and suddenly there is a TINY PERSON there who you can play with and loves you basically always and also ADORABLE and this is not a sentence but I think the point is there.
Anyway I hope everything works out (I bet it will) and try to get them to name him/her something awesome. (I almost got them to name him "bower" which they heard as "cooper" and settled on "Connor")
