2012’s First Baby honored at KHMH

But back in the city, just one hour into 2012, the first baby of the year was born at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. At one o’clock a.m. on January first, a minor gave birth to the New Year’s baby, a healthy seven pound thirteen ounce little girl.  Due to the age of the mother, her identity has not been released.  It is known, however, that four other women gave birth at the KHMH on New Year’s Day. The new mothers received care packages courtesy of the hospital and Santiago Castillo Limited on Monday. And since it promotes breast feeding, the KHMH says that the gift packages did not include bottles, pacifiers, formulas or nipples. Interestingly, there was an equal number of boys and girls born at the KHMH for the year 2011; that’s nine hundred and sixty-two each.
