Grand View Hospital Celebrates First Baby of 2010
(January 1, 2010) Sellersville, PA – Grand View
Hospital is proud to announce their first birth of the New Year as Delilah
Eden Victoria Johnson at 12:38 am. This beautiful little bundle was born
to loving parents Kimberly and Christopher Johnson of Telford and has four
siblings, Nico, Ava, Josh, and Seth, waiting to greet her. Weighing in at
seven pounds eleven ounces and 19 1/4 inches long her name was chosen for
Delilah, which means desired, Eden for paradise, and Victoria after
Kimberley’s brother Victor.
Johnson was in labor for five hours
remarking that “Delilah is a wonderful way to start the New Year.” She
also enjoyed spending New Year’s Day recovering in one of Grand View’s
brand new private rooms. Kimberly and Christopher commented “they would
like to thank the nurses and doctors at Grand View Hospital.”
