P.A. welcomes first 2017 baby
It’s a boy!
Emmett Ismael Avila is Prince Albert’s first baby born in 2017. He was delivered at Victoria Hospital at 4:09 a.m., weighing six lbs. and six oz.
His arrival was a surprise for his parents Rhonda and Arnold Avila. They’d expected Emmett more towards the end of January.
“I went to bed (on New Year’s Eve) and I woke up and felt a pop,” Rhonda said. “Then I started having contractions and they were very close, like 10 minutes apart. He was born so suddenly, it was scary.”
