Newton County's first baby of 2008, Franklin Robert Davis, was born a healthy 6 pounds 5 ounces at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday in the Newton Medical Birthcare Center. By Thursday morning, most of the pain from the previous night's labor had receded from the mind of first-time mother Erin Davis, 16, who had eyes only for her baby boy. "I was kind of scared," said Erin of the labor which thankfully lasted only for 45 minutes.
