Meet the Triangle's first Christmas babies of 2018
It is a very merry day for two families who welcomed the Triangle's first "Christmas babies" into the world just after midnight.
Posted — UpdatedJoshua Julius Torcasso was born first at 12:39 a.m. at Duke Regional Hospital. Parents Matt and Rachel Torcasso say he weighs 9 pounds, 0.6 ounces.
Ruby Love Shankweiler was born at 12:56 a.m. at UNC Rex Hospital weighing in at 5 pounds, 10 ounces. Her parents, Amanda and Derek Shankweiler, told WRAL News they’re doing great but that they’ll be spending the next few days in the hospital.
The little outfit Ruby is wearing, they say, was handmade by a nurse at UNC Rex for the first baby born on Christmas morning.
At WakeMed, Lela Christine Hawkins was born at 2:25 a.m. at 4 pounds, 5 ounces.
Congratulations to the families!
