Three baby boys were born on New Year’s Day 2026 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH).

One of the infants arrived at 3:39 a.m. to parents Kiara Goodridge and Jeremy Estwick. 

Speaking with The Nation team during a visit to the hospital, the parents said the birth followed a long wait and described the moment as overwhelming.

“It was a long-awaited arrival. We were waiting for him for a while and we’re just filled with so much joy. We feel absolutely blessed to have him in our arms,” the mother said.

Amanda Boyce welcomed her fifth child, a baby boy weighing eight pounds, nine ounces. She said he arrived earlier than expected, as he was due on January 10.

“I feel blessed. I actually got one on the 31st [December] and this one is on the 1st,” Boyce said.

A third baby boy was also born at the QEH on New Year’s Day. The family, however, declined to have any names used or pictures taken. (AM)
