Drumheller has now welcomed the first baby born here in 2012. At 11:37 a.m. on January 2 Jordan and Paulina Wipf of Handhills brought into the world their third child, a baby boy.
“Two girls and then a boy, it’s really nice,” said Paulina. “We didn’t expect to have the new year's baby that’s for sure.”
“We thought there would already be one,” added Jason.
Jordan, as the boy is known, was born without any complications and weighing 3.112 kg. The physician who was attending throughout the birth was Dr. Maseka.
Jason and Paulina are ecstatic about the birth of Jordan. When asked if Jordan would the last child the couple is planning on having, they replied they were unsure at this time.
The couple will soon be returning home and introducing the newest member of the family to his two sisters, Becky, 4, and Julianne, 1, five uncles, and a happy pair of grandparents.
