Welcoming the Last Baby of 08, First Baby of 09

Smithtown, New York - While the New Year celebration took place in Times Square, St. Catherine’s Maternity Unit was steadily busy, instead, delivering and celebrating both the last baby of 2008, and the first baby of 2009. St. Catherine’s last baby of 2008 was Nieve Jolie Deitsch. She was born to Sarah Murphy and Seth Deitsch at 7:55 p.m. on Wednesday, December 31st, weighing 3 pounds and 15 ounces. Although baby Nieve was born prematurely she was a great surprise to her parents, and is doing well. As a reward to the parents of the last baby of 2008, Suffolk County Marketing Specialist James Vento of H&R Block will be supplying the couple with a free tax preparation coupon. St. Catherine’s first baby of the New Year, C.J. Rennert, was born to Christopher and Deirdre Rennert at 5:16 a.m., weighing in at 8 pounds and 5 ounces. The family of the first baby of the year received a starter basket from Babies R US of Commack, presented by their Coordinator of Marketing and Promotion Eileen Laureano.Both bundles of joy were welcomed by their parents, family, friends, and by the staff of St. Catherine’s Maternity Unit. ###St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center is a member of Catholic Health Services of Long Island and is devoted to providing advanced healthcare, in an environment of compassion, to its patients and their families. The Medical Center sits on a 110-acre campus and includes a 318-bed acute care hospital, a 240-bed nursing home, a 298 unit senior housing facility, and a medical office building.
