Winter Park Welcomes First Baby of the Year
Fate was kind enough to let Winter Park resident Gina Denny watch the movie Sherlock Holmes from beginning to end, for the moment she stepped out of the theater, she knew it was time for her baby to come out.
She and her husband immediately dashed—a quick walk for a pregnant lady like Gina—to Winter Park Memorial Hospital, where she gave birth to a baby boy they named Ryder.
The very healthy 9-pound and 3 ounce baby also happened to be the year’s first baby for the entire Central Florida region.
Although he was scheduled to be born on January 6 through a C-Section, Gina Denny was happy—and relieved—that the process was normal and the baby healthy. The fact that he arrived during the first few minutes of 2010 is an added special bonus though, she adds smiling.
On the other hand, the thought of Ryder being Winter Park’s first baby did cross her husband J.D.’s mind at one point, given her due date and all.
Hospital officials have confirmed other New Year’s births, but none are as close to 12 midnight as Ryder’s.
Special gifts from the hospital and celebrity-treatment by the media made the occasion even more special for this family.
