The first baby born in Ocala, Fla. in 2008 is Joseph Dennison at 12:53 am, weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces and a length of 21.5 inches.  The proud parents are Chantal Dennison and Charles Dennison, making Joseph their first child.  The happy trio was enjoying their new family time together in a room maternity ward of the Munroe Regional Medical Center.  Baby and mother will most likely go home in about two days.
