Baby Emma is the first child for Hayley and Nate, weighing lbs. 7 oz. and measuring 19 inches (49 cm) long.

“We thought she would be born earlier, but as the day went on, we thought maybe she will be a New Year baby. She just made it into the new year! We are excited, happy and a bit overwhelmed,” said Boivin. “We want to thank Dr. Awad and Dr. Smith, the aestheticist Dr. Radonich and the nurses, Alyssa, Tori and Kristen for all of their care and attentiveness.”
