A fitting name for the first child born in 2023 in Kingston, Ont.

“Definitely feel like a new person,” Arora added.

Aadyah is currently under observation after experiencing some difficulty breathing. although the family says hospital staff assured them it’s nothing serious.

“So the next step is they’ll keep him in observation for another 48 hours or so because, of course, safety is priority,” Sethi said.

Once they are given the all-clear, the family is looking forward to going home with their new little bundle of joy.
