FIRST BABY BORN AT THE CAMPBELLTON REGIONAL HOSPITAL

Campbellton (N. B.) – The first baby born at the Campbellton Regional Hospital in 2008 was a little boy called Nathan James.  He arrived at 10:40 on Wednesday, January 2, 2008, and weighed a healthy 3,530 g (7lbs 12oz).  The first baby of the year in Restigouche is the first child of Vicki Charest and James Harris from Glen Levit.
