Not long after ringing in the New Year, Barrie and Orillia each welcomed two new residents for 2024.
It didn’t take long for the first baby of the New Year to be born at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital, with the first arriving there 10 minutes after midnight.
Parents parents Farida and Naib Baghirov of Orillia welcomed their third child, an eight pound five ounce baby girl, the hospital said.
The baby whose name has not been release is the couple’s third daughter.
The hospital says Farida ended up driving herself along with her two children to the hospital prior to delivering, but that she and her new baby are resting comfortably.
A short time later, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre welcomed its first newborn of 2024.
Arriving at 1:58 a.m. on Jan. 1, Barrie residents Anastasia Danquah and Garvin Grant welcomed the eighth baby to their family, Godson, weighing just over six pounds.
Each year more than 2,000 babies are born in Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre’s (RVH) Birthing Unit.
The health centre says while each birth “is a unique and beautiful miracle; it calls for a special occasion to welcome the first baby born in 2024.”
