\"\"TYLER — UT Health Tyler celebrated a very special birthday on New Years Day. Edgar Espinoza Jr. was born at 5:30 a.m. on New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day, making him the hospital\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first baby of the year. According to our news partner KETK, after ringing in the New Year with their family, the Espinoza\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s did not know the hospital was going to be the first stop. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When we got home it was just instant back to back, just non-stop, pretty consistent contractions,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said the father, Edgar Espinoza Sr. When they arrived at the emergency room, the UT Health staff cheered mom on. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It actually did help and I remember as soon as he was born, I was like, so is he the first baby? And she said for sure here,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said the mother, Jessenia Espinoza. Junior came three weeks early and there were no complications during the birth. He weighed six pounds eight ounces and was 17.25 inches tall. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just blessed. You know I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t expect him this early for sure and just to have him soon which is always nice,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Jessenia. This is their first boy and the Espinoza\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s said big sister, Rosalyn, can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait to give him baths. Weather permitting, Jessenia was cleared to go home Monday and take their New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s miracle with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
