WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Better late than never. A Woodbridge couple welcomed the first baby of 2013 born at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center.
The child was born the Woodbridge hospital not on New Year’s Day, but today.
Here’s more from Sentara spokeswoman Charlene Wilkins:
Welcome to the world, Grace Ann Crider! Grace was born on Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 1:28 a.m. and was the first baby born at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in 2013.
Grace was welcomed by her parents, Ryan and Diana Crider of Woodbridge, and her big sister, 3-year-old Zoe.
She was 7 pounds, 2 ounces and 19 inches long. The Criders weren’t expecting to have the first baby of the New Year as Grace wasn’t due until Jan. 9; however, her early appearance was a happy surprise.
Congratulations to the Crider family on the birth of their beautiful daughter.
The region’s first new baby of the New Year was born at Stafford Hospital Center on late Tuesday morning.
