Meet Our Newest Edition

I know it has been ages since I last posted anything on our blog, but that is because it was blocked for several weeks while we were still living in Guangzhou. Now that we back home in Canada for the summer, that is no longer a concern, or an issue. I am free to post as often as I please . . . which means, I can make my happy announcement now.

Ahem . . . Glenn and I are proud to announce the arrival of our son, Josiah Breum Jacobsen, who was born on June 30th at 1:56am. My labour pains started around midnight, we got to the hospital just after 12:30am, and Josiah was born shortly after that.



A friend of mine commented that I should keep my "ridiculously short labours" to myself, but I have to admit that I was EXTREMELY grateful that it wasn't any longer than that! No time for pain killers either (!!) . . . perhaps with our next baby I'll have to camp out on the steps of the hospital to ensure I get there in time!



I only have a few pictures of Josiah and I just after he was born . . . but I will keep you up to date on how our little "J-Man" is doing . . . so far, he's just as windy as the rest of the family. Now we have a NEW member of the family on whom we can blame for our intestinal discomfort! (Mwah-ha-ha!)

As you can see, Angelica is already the BEST big sister a brother could ever ask for! Her "mothering instincts" have already kicked in.
