The Birth & more

August 9th brought the birth of my new nephew, Brennan James. I was blessed to be there to see him come out! I always wished that one day, I would see a baby come out. Giving birth is not the same because you are doing all the work. Being at Brennan's birth was more like a vacation! My sister was doing all the work.

Here he is just born, still attached to his mama.



Here he is cleaned up.



He's got all his fingers and all his toes!



Maelie was able to hold him when he came home. I am glad that babies don't make her want a baby in the house!




Here is my mom with all her kids and grandkids.



Brennan was also baptized while we were there! That was pretty fast!



While my sister was in the hospital, Maelie was not allowed to visit, so I decided to spend the day out with her instead. (only parents, grandparents and siblings of the newborn were allowed due to bacteria going around)

We ended up spending the day in Cavendish with our friends from Gatineau. They rented a cottage out there and so we went to Ripley's Believe of Not museum, shopping on the Boardwalk, and then for raclette at their cottage. It was wonderful! Though it felt wierd to see friends from Gatineau in PEI.





Maelie got her hand made out of wax. It turned out really nice!
