Oshawa’s First Baby of the Year
One of our favorite things to do during the first few days of the New Year is to try and look up the proud parents of the city’s first official baby of the year.
Yes, lucky is the child who is born on the 1st of January. At least that’s what some say. To us, it’s just plain cool.
For the City of Oshawa, and the entire Durham Region for that matter, little Bradley Bonneau was this year’s first newborn. The bouncing little boy, who came to the world a bit later than expected, was born at exactly 12:02 in the morning of January 1.
According to proud parents Holly Bonneau and Patrick Doussept, baby Bradley was supposed to be delivered by their obstetrician almost two weeks earlier on December 22. However, they opted to have him born closer to the New Year, so as to separate his birthday from Christmas.
Mom Holly Bonneau was beaming with excitement and pride for her first born to be a New Year’s baby. According to the couple, they weren’t really concerned about Bradley’s due date; they just wanted him to be healthy.
Indeed, little Bradley was a bundle of health delivered by the doctors and medical staff of Lakeridge Health Oshawa.
