Caden is WA’s first baby for 2019

While others were welcoming a New Year, Tiffany Harvey and Terry Bertoncini were welcoming a new edition to their family.

Born four minutes after midnight at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Caden Lawrence Bertoncini is believed to be WA’s first baby born in 2019.

Weighing 3.91kg — or eight pounds and 10 ounces — Caden is the Camillo couple’s fourth child. Ms Harvey was induced 14 days early because he was “going to be such a big baby”.

The parents were excited today to take their precious bundle home, with his siblings Dylan, 10, Elijah, 7, and Sophie, 6, “champing at the bit” to meet him.

“He will forever have friends who will want to party with him on his birthday,” Ms Harvey said.

“My brother-in-law made a funny comment that we can always tell him at one point when he is old enough that the fireworks are for him.”
