Meet South Jersey’s First Babies of 2018 [PHOTOS]

New Year's Day, 2018 is a day that will never be forgotten by two local families who welcomed South Jersey's first babies of the new year at area hospitals.

Tiosha Goddard and Kaleem Williams from Atlantic City took the honor of having South Jersey's first-born baby of 2018 when their son Taheem Williams was born at 2:15a.m., January 1 at the Roger B. Hansen Center for Childbirth at AtlantiCare's Mainland Campus in Pomona. He weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces, and was 19 inches long.

2018's first baby at Shore Medical Center in Somers Point was born just over an hour later, when Kristin Lane and Brian Sterback of Linwood welcomed their daughter Hazel.

According to Shore Medical Center's Facebook page, Hazel arrived  at 3:27 a.m., weighing 7lbs 4oz and measuring 20.5”.

Congratulations to these two happy families on the first South Jersey births of 2018!
