New Year babies
Ringing in the New Year, while welcoming a new baby, is a wonderful chance to establish resolutions, traditions and expectations and  for six happy women, 2011 brought with it all of their hopes , dreams and aspirations wrapped up in tiny bundles of joy.
These blessed women all gave birth to healthy baby boys and girls at the Georgetown Public Hospital on January 1, 2011, ringing in the year with a bang!
Ms. Annette Boston of Section ‘B’ Sophia, delivered the first New Year baby , a healthy boy weighing in at 3kg 640 g at 03:54 hrs at the Hospital.
