The mystical expansion of "We together"

Monday morning our life has taken a planned and prepared but yet extreme turn - upon arrival to the Semmelweisklinik and after a check-up we immediately were transferred into the delivery room in which Kerstin was working hard and brave on the contractions and after several hours of being in labour, at exactly 14:04 our beloved son Jakob was born. His size of 53 cm and weight of 3610 g are indicators of the hard work Kerstin and Jakob, assisted by Markus and a lovely mid-wife had to do.

Here comes not the hotstepper, but our new family member: Jakob

Whatever one imagines and expects from the experience of giving birth, it is absolutely amazing, unbelievable and not explicable how wonderful this moment is. We both were absolutely overwhelmed when we held Jakob for the first time in our arms. All our imaginations of his looks became more realistic and it is simply great. Both baby and mother are well and healthy.

While the new dad met up with his friends that were available at short notice for some decent celebrations in the evening, ending at 0400 at the terrace with the last beer, Kerstin and Jakob chilled, relaxed and got more and more accustomed to each other. The grandparents are already on their way and will be able to meet&greet the newcomer soon.

Needless to say we are indescribably happy about our son and look forward to exciting and interesting years to come that will be pretty different to the years we have spent together so far!

Jakob, Kerstin & Markus
