Miss Emilia would like to introduce you all to her baby brother, Mister Jasper, who arrived last night at 9:16pm.
After very narrowly escaping being born at the side of the road.
Their bad mother, who is happy but nonetheless shell-shocked from what was – no exaggeration – a somewhat traumatic birth experience, needs to recover for a day or two before sharing that story. In the meantime, accept this photo and a weakly blown virtual kiss as both birth announcement and thank-you (for your amazing support during this crazy pregnancy) card.

CONGRATS!
I like the name. Not weird at all – don’t see why your mom took issue with it. And who needs to be called something “for short”? His friends will give him a nickname sometime in life whether it is related to his name or not!
Congrats – he is BIG! And it is nice to see big sister so happy.
welcome to the world, baby boy! congratulations to her bad family; you guys are gonna have fun.
Congrats!! So happy for you all!! Can’t wait to hear the story
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful.
And congratulations to the entire Bad family. XXOO
Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!

Congratulations! I’m so glad he finally decided to make an entrance, what a relief!

Welcome to the world, Baby Boy!
Yay! He’s here! I admit I thought that he must have made his arrival this weekend when we didn’t hear from you for a bit!
Sorry that the birth wasn’t the best experience, but yay for the baby boy!
Congratulations to you all. Gentle hug for the slightly traumatized Mom.
