Seriously, what does that make me? Anyone?

If the baby is biologically your nephew's child, then you are a great uncle.

I wonder why the term "grand" isn't used for great-uncles/aunts just like the term "grand" is used when referring to great/grand mothers/fathers.

well whatever the reason, I'm glad it's not used for me-it'd make me feel old!:lol: :lol: :lol:

Regardless, I personally prefer the term "grand-uncle", or "great-grand-uncle".

Congratulations!

Congratulations Joe :woohoo:
