Hey there, time traveller!

Barely visible while wrapped in a white blanket and wearing a blue tuque, Winnipeg’s first baby of the new year slept through most of his first news conference.
The yet-to-be-named newborn arrived at 12:18 a.m. Wednesday at HSC Women’s Hospital, weighing in at seven pounds, 11 ounces — concluding an extra-special New Year’s Eve for the Singh family.
The baby boy, also the first Winnipeg baby of the decade, is the third child of mother Sunaina and father Rupinder.
“We are very happy, it’s a very good gift on new year’s,” Rupinder said Wednesday afternoon at the hospital, as Baby Singh expressed himself with occasional little squeals.
Being parents to the city’s first baby of 2020 wasn’t part of their plan; he was supposed to be delivered Jan. 6.
The Singhs moved to Winnipeg from India in 2010. They now have two children in the city and one back in India, who they are hoping can join them in Canada sometime this year.
Sunaina said her family in India cried when they first got the news. “(My mother) was very excited to see her new family member,” she said.
Sunaina and Rupinder said their daughter, Harkirat, was very excited to have a baby brother. She showed her love Wednesday with a few kisses for the cameras.
The Singhs also expressed their happiness with the hospital and its staff, saying they were very nice and co-operative.
“Everything is really fantastic over here,” Sunaina said.
