Time for New Year's Baby Derby

2009_01_babynewyear.jpg Time to wait for hospitals to announce their New Year's babies! One contender for the first baby of 2009—in the U.S.— is Edgar Rafael Moreno, born just one second after midnight at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ. We eagerly await more stories about New Year's babies—and hope to see photos of Mayor Bloomberg visiting the New Yorkers while wearing a fetching sweater. UPDATE: Aha! The Daily News reports there are two newborns vying for title of NYC's first 2009 baby: Zenia Hussain (7 pounds, 13 ounces) was born at 12:10 a.m. at Flushing Hospital Center, while Grace Pak (6 pounds, 3 ounces) was reportedly born at 12:09 a.m. at the New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens. And, yes, Mayor Bloomberg will be visiting them.

and yes, all families competing for this will lose the ability to claim their new addition as a dependent for an entire year by mere minutes!

Seriously! They're all fools for not pushing that baby out before midnight!

Look out! Bloomberg's gonna drink their blood!!!
