 Canadian media reported that
the first baby born in the western province of Saskatoon in 2008 belongs
to a Mongolian couple.
A baby girl named Zol Paula
Boldsaikhan was born at 3:19 a.m., weighing seven pounds.
The father Boldsaikhan Usukh,
arrived in Saskatoon in 2006 to study for a master’s degree in soil
science. Later in 2006, his wife, Enkhsuren Byambaa, followed from Mongolia
with their son, Erkhem, who is now six years old.
According to Usukh, his wife
spent December 31 preparing a large family meal to celebrate New Years
Eve. Instead, they arrived at Royal University Hospital at midnight,
only three hours before their baby was born.
In choosing the baby’s names,
the couple chose Zol, which means "best of luck" in
Mongolian. For a middle name, the family asked the hospital staff for
suggestions for a Canadian middle name. It was agreed that Paula would
work to honor Dr. Paula Schwann who delivered the baby.
