My cousin Matthew and his wife Vanessa were expecting a baby the first week of February. But mid-day on Monday, Vanessa started experiencing some major distress with swelling and chest pain. Matt and Vanessa are cadets with the Salvation Army, currently in school at the College for Officer Training at Crestmont in Palos Verdes, CA. They came straight from a class, in their uniforms, to the hospital. Vanessa was told they had to take the baby immediately via an emergency c-section. It was very frightening for many reasons. Vanessa had some very serious complications even after the newest member of my family was born. Meet Brooke Rose Jensen, born November 23rd, weighing 2lbs, 10oz, and measuring 14 inches long. As you can see, my cousin Matt is an extremely proud father!
