While many of us are preparing to ring in the New Year with a glass of bubbly, waiting for the giant ball to drop in Times Square, expectant couples will be pacing hospital halls waiting for their babies to be born.
The New Year's Baby symbolizes the start of the new year and represents the first of the more than 44,000 babies that are expected to be born in British Columbia in 2017.
We'll have to wait until Sunday morning to find out who that cherished infant will be. Information regarding the first birth in BC will be shared on the government twitter account @BCGovNews at 8 o'clock Sunday morning.
