Special Deliveries: Our First Babies

Remember when you were little and believed that big, white birds delivered babies in pastel pink and blue bundles? Now you know that wasn’t so, but storks can bring pleasant surprises for the families of newborn babies – at least in Mount Pleasant.

Each year, East Cooper Medical Center and Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital welcome hundreds of babies to the Lowcountry. Mount Pleasant Magazine is about to celebrate the first of these blessed events.

In our spring edition, we will introduce you to Mount Pleasant’s New Year’s baby – the first person born here in January 2012. Will he squirm at Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital? Will she belt out her first wail at East Cooper Medical Center?

The winning family will receive the Mount Pleasant Magazine first baby stork basket. Thanks to local businesses, the new baby and family will land supplies such as diapers, bibs and toys, as well as gift certificates for baby furniture, clothes and formula, a free photo session and even cash for future college costs.

Let the fun and competition begin!
