See More... Being a Canadian means that you know who Jamie Salé and David Pelletier are. They are only the most amazing figure skating pair around! They won an Olympic Gold in 2002 and only 7 months ago welcomed their first baby boy, Jesse Joe, into the family. They are featured in May 2008’s issue of Today’s Parent.

Here is the interview included in the magazine.

Since they knew what they were having, Jamie says that throughout the pregnancy, she would make bets with Dave on who the baby boy would look like, but in the end she says that she just couldn’t get over what they had created together.

Jamie: We knew we were having a boy, but we didn’t tell anyone, so we’d make bets with each other: Will he have hair? What color will his eyes be? So when he came out, Dave kept saying, ‘He’s got hair, he’s got hair!’ I just remember saying, ‘Look what we created.’

Although Dave, after seeing Jamie go through contractions, can’t understand why women would want to go through labor more than once, was overcome with love when he did finally see his newborn son.

David: I was speechless at first. It was upsetting to watch Jamie go through the contractions because I couldn’t help her. After watching the birth, I don’t understand how women have more than one! But once I heard his voice, it took me to a place I never knew existed.
