Angelo, a sales representative in the alarm security industry, and Elizabeth, a part-time legal assistant, said while their baby's gender was a surprise, the date of his arrival wasn't. Nicolas was right on schedule, something his father finds amazing. While Angelo is happy his child is Oakville's New Year's baby, he said, he is even more excited about Nicolas being born in January.

After around two and a half hours of labour at the hospital, Nicolas was born in what Angelo called a smooth delivery. Yesterday (Thursday), Angelo said things were fairly calm in the Di Petta house as Nicolas had stayed awake all night and was sleeping some of the day away as a result. Noah was napping, as well, following the excitement of welcoming a new brother home. "It's the calm before the storm," Angelo joked. for these events Rink Grand Opening JANUARY 4 11am ­ 1pm music, entertainment, treats and fun for the whole family Olympic Opening Celebration FEBRUARY 7 11am ­ 2pm ring in the start of the Olympics with friends and family Chance to Win One of Two $500 Bronte Village Shopping Sprees Enter Contest NOW at http://bronte.sharing-online.net/ Rink brought to you by the Businesses of Downtown Oakville and the support of: Design Group THESHOPPES OF THE TOWNESQUARE
