DOCTORS Hospital’s Maternity Department was thrilled to welcome the first baby of 2015 early in the evening of January 1.
Each year, the hospital teams up with Lowe’s Wholesale to recognise the first baby boy and first baby girl born in the New Year.
First up was a baby boy – Isaiah Enoch Smith born to Kendra Sherman and Enoch Smith. He arrived at 6:37pm on January 1, weighing 5lbs, 10oz.
The proud mother said she was impressed with the level of care she and her baby received at Doctors Hospital.
“It felt like I was in a hotel. The nurses kept checking on me, even at night when I was resting. I would definitely tell others to try and have their births here,” she said.
Other babies followed in those early days of 2015, but in each instance, the Maternity Department sent down a message that it was yet another boy.
In fact, it wasn’t until 3:14am on January 10, that the first girl for 2015 arrived at Doctors Hospital.
Layla Treco-Voisin, weighing 7lbs 14oz, arrived a couple of days early to ensure that she and her parents Leah Treco and Garth Voisin would get treated to a basket of Johnson and Johnson baby products to help take care of her.

I am sick and tired of the media glorifying illegitimate births. If they want to have children out of wedlock, its none of my business so keep it private!

Your views could be considered illegitimate and equally worthy of keeping private.
Congratulations to the parents on your new bundles of joy, and best wishes to the children for a bright and happy Bahamian future. Disregard the antiquated and the judgemental, ignore the nasty cynics, the self righteous busybodies and the haters of this world. Stand tall, have heart, and walk proud as free, equal and entirely legitimate members of our society.
