Kortrijk The first Flemish kerstkindje saw last night was born in AZ Groeninge Kortrijk. At 3 minutes after midnight when Desmond is in the world, the first child of Axelle Messiaen (20) and Roy Dinnecourt (21) from Kortrijk. Desmond weighs 3kg 220 and measures 49 cm. The delivery was precisely on december 22, Axelle was so what overtime.
“They have childbirth initiated,” she says. “I was in the hospital expected to arrive on 24 december to 6 o’clock in the morning, so it is some time before Desmond was there.” So it is not that Axelle and Roy were sprinting from the table. “So it was also for me a traditional christmas dinner,” says dad Roy. “But the people here had done their best to keep the meal just something festive to make, with a chocoladefiguurtje there.”
It is a hugely busy day on the maternity ward in Kortrijk, around the afternoon there were four children born, and there will now only rest, as there’s already some additional ladies in labour to the maternity ward, his travels.
