LAFAYETTE, La. ( KLFY) — At 1:32 a.m. this morning, Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital welcomed a new Legacy to Acadiana.
The third child of Baldwin residents 31-year-old Falon Johnson and 33-year-old Louis Green, newborn Legacy Green entered the world at 5 pounds 9 ounces and 18 inches, becoming Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital’s official first baby of 2025.
Legacy’s birth date came as a surprise for the couple, as Johnson wasn’t expected to deliver for another four weeks.
“I think he just wanted to be born,” Johnson said.
The holiday week started as expected for the young family. Green, a pipe fitter with Chart Industries at the Port of Iberia, was at work on Monday while Johnson was home with the couple’s other two children preparing for the holiday. Sometime in the morning, Johnson said she noticed something seemed off with the way she felt.
“I was having contractions, and they felt differently than the ones I experienced with my first two children. Call it mother’s intuition, I just knew something wasn’t right,” Johnson said. “I sent a text to my fiancée and family telling them today is going to be the day.”
