Bermuda welcomes first babies born in 2023
The first two Bermuda babies of 2023 were delivered this week, according to the Bermuda Hospitals Board.
A BHB spokeswoman said the first children of the new year were born at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital on Wednesday.
While the mother of the first child declined publicity, the second baby of 2023 was Clara Elizabeth Rowat, born to Craig and Monika Rowat at 10.05pm. She weighed 6lb 15oz and was the second baby born that day.
Dr Rowat, Clara’s father and a Canadian chiropractor on the island, said: “Clara was actually due on New Year’s Day.
“We were a bit disappointed when she didn’t come that day, but that’s OK, we were happy to greet her on Wednesday night.
Clara is the couple’s second daughter, with her older sister, Ella, also born at KEMH.
Dr Rowat added: “We are very happy with the care we received from all the maternity staff with both our daughters.
“They were caring, attentive and excellent. We have nothing but praise for them.”
