Baby born on Boblo

Baby Santino was born on Boblo Island May 17.

Brenda Marlia and Jay Mould recently welcomed their third child into the world and the place where it happened isn’t usually known for having babies born there.

Their new baby Santino was born May 17 on Boblo Island. According to Marlia, one of the midwives checked the archives and found no record of a baby born and registered on Boblo Island before.

There was initial concern during her pregnancy whether her midwives would be able to come and help her deliver at home, due to the fact she lives on an island. That matter was resolved and midwives Corey Bryant and Sarah Facette helped bring Santino into the world.

Santino was born at approximately 1 p.m. and there was a function on the island that night. Wanting to “check it out,” they went over later in the evening and were congratulated.

“Everyone is so in love with him,” said Marlia, of the couple’s new son. 

People are pulling their golf carts over and talking with them while others are giving gifts to the family.

“Everyone is over the moon with him,” said Marlia. “Thank you to everyone on the island for being generous and supportive.”

The community on the island is a wonderful one, she added, with some residents stopping by to check on them and congratulate the family.
