Meet Sebastian!

Our little Sebastian came into this world on Monday, September 26 at 5:30am.

He was born at home while the rest of the family was sleeping.  The kids woke up shortly after to a new baby brother.  It was so special!
So excited to have a little brother!
That same afternoon he started to have trouble breathing so we called our midwife who took us straight to Emerg.  He came down with Group B Streptococcus Sepsis and was on antibiotics for 2 weeks.  By the end of the first week I was feeling pretty ill too so I spent a night in the Emerg and found out the next day that I also had GBS in the blood.  So, there we were, both on IV antibiotics in the hospital.  Not where we expected to be but where we needed to be.

 
Nice hat!
It was a long and tough two weeks but our Heavenly Father carried us through.  Praise God for the health care that we have here so we could be looked after so well and can be home now together as family of 7!

    Congratulations, Suzanne! And to think I almost missed Sebastian's birth announcement because I've not been reading blogs for a while now. I'm so glad that your baby is doing better...what a difficult time it must have been for you. May God continue to bless you.
