ICYMI: The holiday baby boom continued in P.E.I. on New Year’s Day with seven births at Prince Edward Island's two acute-care hospitals.
Gibson George Oram came into the world at nine pounds and four ounces to parents Elizabeth Arsenault and Matt Oram of Lower Freetown.“We’ve just been on cloud nine, really,’’ Arsenault told SaltWire Network in a telephone interview from her hospital bed on Jan. 2. “We’re trying to take it all in. We haven’t thought too much of having the first baby of the new year. Having a new baby, in general, is a lot.
Five babies were born at the Summerside hospital on Jan. 1 while a nurse at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown reported there were two births. Arsenault, 28, an administrator for BDO in Summerside, said she carried her son for 41 weeks and three days and was told by the hospital to come in on Jan. 31 at 8 a.m. to be induced.
