New Year's baby

Susana Rodriguez was expecting to be induced for medical reasons on Thursday, January 3. But little Salvador had other plans.

“He wanted to be born on New Year’s Day instead!” Susana joked.

She was surprised when she went into labor late last night after work. She delivered Salvador at 5:53 a.m. at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth – the first baby born at the hospital in 2013. He weighs 7.63 ounces and measures 20 inches long.

“It’s super special,” said the Fort Worth Mom. Salvador has two sisters, ages 3 and 6, and one 18-month-old brother waiting to welcome him home and wish him a Happy New Year.

Congratulations to Susana and family!
