Little Albie was waiting until the new year had
truly begun before making his entrance on New Year’s day!
Albie William Frost-Meese was one of eight babies
born in Rotherham on 1 January. He was born at 2.47pm and weighed an impressive
9lb 10.5oz.
He joins mum Lyndsay, dad Scott and sister Megan
and brother Mason from Wickersley. Lyndsay said: “Albie was five days overdue
so we had no idea he would turn up on new year’s day.”
She added: “It is a lovely birthday to have – we
think Albie was just waiting to get 2020 out of the way!”
Little Albie has a grandma who you might all find
familiar too: Congratulations to Community Nurse, Sharon Hunter!
Of the eight babies born on New Year’s Day 4 were
girls and 4 were boys. On Christmas day we welcomed three babies; 1 girls and 2
boys.
Natalie Humphrey, Lead Midwife on the Labour Ward at
Rotherham Hospital, said: “It is always a pleasure to welcome newborns into the
world at such a special time of year for many families.
“This year has been long and hard for many people and it is
heart-warming to celebrate the New Year with the start of new life. We wish all
our festive families the best for the year ahead and look forward to meeting
more 2021 Rotherham babies!”
