At 6 pounds and 10 ounces, Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove welcomed baby Aalora Vyas at 12:37 a.m. Sunday — the first recorded birth of 2023 in Chicagoland hospitals.
Jan. 1 is always a day of new beginnings. But for some Chicagoland parents, the early morning hours of New Year’s Day were a special kind of beginning — a time when they welcomed their babies into the world.
“And then my husband told me, he was like, ‘Just lay down. Try and relax. Let’s just count the contractions,’” the mother recalled. “And then I tried to lay down in bed and I told him, ‘It’s really hard to lay down,’ which is weird. So he helped me lay down and then, all of a sudden, my water broke.”
A few minutes after Aalora was born, NorthShore Evanston Hospital welcomed a baby boy at 12:45 a.m. His parents chose not to release a name or photo.Advertisement The new mother was just over 39 weeks pregnant this weekend. She said she was calm when her water broke Sunday morning as she shifted her position in bed.At 2:38 a.m., the daughter of Elgin residents Monserrat Sarmiento and Brayan Reza was born at Advocate Sherman Hospital. The baby’s name is Lilliana Xiomara Reza Sarmiento, and she weighed 6 pounds and 3 ounces and measured 19.5 inches at the time of birth.
