Mom Jean and dad Patrick were excited to welcome their third child to the family on New Year’s Day. They say he arrived a little earlier than expected.
A short time later at 12:23 a.m., baby boy Adonis made his introduction to the world at Emory Decatur Hospital. He weighed 7 pounds and was 20 and three-fourths inches long. Adonis is the first baby to mom Athena and dad Daniel. The new parents say they had an amazing experience with their New Year’s Day delivery.
At Emory University Hospital Midtown, baby girl Sloan made her debut at 4:32 a.m. She weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces, and was 20 inches long. Mom Allyson and dad Bryan say their first baby arrived a few days earlier than expected. The family is excited Sloan will be celebrated each Jan. 1 with a big countdown to her birthday.
