Toronto Baby Believed To Be 1st Baby Of 2007 In Canada

Introducing the first Canadian newborn of 2007! This healthy baby boy was delivered in a Toronto hospital just seconds after midnight. Although he arrived seven days late, he managed to claim the distinction. Originally expected to be born on Christmas Day, this little one couldn’t wait to make his entrance into the world.

The proud parents, Nortan Patrick and Mary Tharusha, from Sri Lanka, are absolutely thrilled with their son. Weighing in at seven pounds and 13 ounces, he was born at Scarborough Grace Hospital. Interestingly, Patrick, a 32-year-old truck driver, had never held a baby before. He considered them too delicate. However, all that changed when he cradled his own newborn for the first time.

In a funny turn of events, Patrick made a bet with his sister that the baby would be born on New Year’s Day, and he lost. Now, he has to cough up $100. Meanwhile, Tharusha’s bracelet proudly displays the numbers 00:00, symbolizing the time of her son’s birth. Upon hearing the news, her parents in Germany extended their New Year celebrations in joy.

Let’s give a big congratulations to Nortan and Mary on the arrival of their little man. This special boy may have been fashionably late, but he’s already making history. Enjoy this precious time with your son, as he’ll be taking his first steps before you know it!
