Lucky baby. A great birth story, plus Canadian citizenship!!! Such fantastic benefits for life . . . health care, university, pension.
Cute!
I wish they had said how many weeks pregnant she was. One is left to guess that she flew at nearly term.
Lucie, she was at eight and a half months, according to the Boston Globe…
Tobi - you said it.
Thanks, May. Glad it worked out so well for her.
