Kendal Joy Dueck
24 December 2007 by Gil
Well, after a long wait, here she is! Kendal was born this afternoon at 1:45 and weighed a healthy 8lbs 4oz. Shelley did a great job and she and the baby are both doing fine.



Both of Kendal’s sisters were pretty thrilled to meet her and excitedly took turns ‘holding’ her. My first impression of this little girl is that she looks very much like Julie did as a baby (she sounds the same too!) although who can really tell at this early stage? Overall we are extremely grateful for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. If everything goes according to plan mother and daughter should both be home for Christmas!
Congratulations! Another girl, eh? Next generation of Team Canada Women’s Hockey players…
Oh! Why Kendal?
Congrats Gil! You have a beautiful family.
Awesome!! What a special gift. We are very excited to see you guys and the new addition. Happy to hear everyone is doing well. Later buddy!
Nicely done on the hat-trick guys - see you in a week or so!
Three girls? Boy, are you in for it!
What a great gift! So happy for you and your family. Merry Christmas!
another girl! congrats.
Congrats guys, can’t wait to see her when we get back! All the best!
Congratulations, I’m really jealous - I always wanted a girl. hope to see her soon…
Big congratulations to you and Shelly, Gil. Hope you and the girls are enjoying the latest Dueck. Can’t wait to see more photos!

She is beautiful! You had us all fooled - I was sure it was a boy (but I’m usually wrong about these things). And I absolutely love her name! Way to go Shelley!
Hey, congrats Dueck family! I’m sure that Kendal will have lots of, well, advice, from her big sisters on how to do pretty much anything and everything. I can’t wait to meet her.
