MIAMI (WSVN) - Several families across South Florida are off to a memorable start in the new year after having a new adorable addition to their lives.
Baptist Health South Miami Hospital celebrates the arrival of Gia, the first baby born at their facility in 2024.
Gia made her debut at 1:35 a.m. Monday, weighing in at 8 pounds and measuring 20.25 inches—a true bundle of joy for her ecstatic parents.
As the first cries of Gia echoed through the maternity ward, the atmosphere at Baptist Health South Miami Hospital was filled with joy and anticipation.
Just two minutes after that, a baby named Adara was born at Memorial Hospital in Hollywood.
At HCA Florida University, a baby named Connor was born just after 3 a.m.
“We were not expecting that, baby’s initial due date was January 22nd, and was not thinking going into work yesterday that was going to be going into labor” said new mother Kirsten Pelosi.
Fortunately, Pelosi is an emergency room nurse.
“Connor is very healthy, the staff here has been amazing,” she said. “Everybody from labor and delivery to triage, to the NICU. Everybody has been fabulous.”
The baby is guaranteed safe, as the new father is a Plantation Police officer.
“Don’t wanna mess up, you know,” said Nicholas Pelosi. “Gotta make sure we do everything we can to set him up for success.”
