It's a boy!

September 14, 2010

Baby Hudson Kazuo Riddle-Masuda is off to a great start. Only seconds into his young life and he'd already made history!

At 11:17 a.m. on Sunday, September 12, first-time parents Erin Riddle and Ted Masuda welcomed the birth of their son and celebrated along with staff. Theirs was the very first baby to be delivered at the cutting-edge new facility for our Women & Babies Program.

In addition to their new bundle of joy, Erin and Ted have extra cause for celebration. As winners of a contest to mark the occasion of the first baby born at 2075 Bayview Avenue, they will be going home with a prize package of gifts designed to make life a little easier for parents of an infant.

Their gift includes $750 in President's Choice gift cards towards the purchase of PC Green diapers, cleaning service for a year from Merry Maids of Canada, a $500 Babies "R" Us gift card, a year's worth of baby clothes from Snugabye, Leap Frog learning toys for baby's first year, and a spa package from Elizabeth Milan Spa.

"Having a healthy baby is what mattered most to us," said Ted. "But this is a really nice bonus."
