New Year, New Babies: The Twin Cities' First Babies of 2009

Congratulations to two sets of parents who welcomed the Twin Cities' newest arrivals!

The Metro area's first baby of 2009 was born at one second past midnight at St. John's Hospital in Maplewood. Baby girl Jordyn Huber weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces, and joins three older brothers, two of whom were both born on December 28. Mom Jill Macioch and father Jim Huber are the parents of the first 2009 baby in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, and probably the first 2009 baby in the whole of the Central time zone. I can imagine that Christmas and New Year is one big celebration in the Huber-Macioch home!

And following Jordyn into the world came three more special new year's babies. Less than two hours after midnight, Jodi and Chris Main became parents of triplets at United Hospital in St. Paul. Babies Jackson, Kylie, and Austin weighed in under 3 pounds each, and are reportedly doing well. The babies will stay in the hospital until they can eat and breath on their own, then will be able to go home with their parents.
