Joas from Nagele was the thousandth baby born this year at Antonius Hospital in Sneek. The hospital celebrated the milestone on Thursday evening with his parents, Johan, 27, and Joanne, 22. Joas was born slightly prematurely after the delivery was moved to the hospital. His parents said they were pleased with the calm and clear guidance from the obstetricians and nurses and were looking forward to going home with him. The family received a romper reading, “Hooray, I am the 1000th baby.”
