The first baby born at the London Health Sciences Centre in 2021 is a girl.
A release from the hospital said the baby, whose name is yet to be determined, was welcomed by mom Alanna Gilmore and dad Joe Gabriel at 12:30 a.m. Friday.
She weighed in at a healthy 9 pounds and 6 ounces.
The family received a gift basket donated by the pharmacist-owners of London and area Shoppers Drug Mart stores, a teddy bear from the Children's Health Foundation, and a handcrafted baby blanket from the London Health Sciences Foundation to welcome her arrival.
The LHSC welcomes over 6,000 newborns each year.
