Brooklyn welcomes first babies of 2017
Congratulations are in order for Brooklyn’s smallest New Year’s revelers as the borough welcomed its first babies of 2017 on Sunday, January 1.
First time parents Diana Espinosa and Phillip Colmar welcomed NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital’s first baby of 2017, Jacob Colmar-Espinosa, at exactly 2:51 a.m.
“We are so thrilled to welcome Jacob into the world,” said Espinosa of her newborn son who weighed in at five pounds, seven and a half ounces and measured 18.5 inches in length. “There really is no better way to kick off the New Year!”
