SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — It’s a boy!
Health care providers across San Diego celebrated the first babies born at their hospitals Wednesday, all of whom have been little boys — so far.
Kaiser Permanente was the earliest to welcome its first newborn baby of 2025 in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
The infant was born at 12:51 a.m. to a woman receiving labor care at San Diego Medical Center. Her new son weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces and is 20 inches long.
Parents Michelle and Meshulam Provost are doing well, Kaiser Permanente officials say, and excited to take on their new role heading into the year.
A spokesperson for Kaiser believed the Provosts’ new son might have been the first baby born in the New Year, but he was not: Just seconds after midnight, parents Trinity and Zac Wallace brought a baby boy, Dawson, into the world at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital.
Dawson, who arrived weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces at precisely 12:00:20 a.m., is now the little brother to the Wallaces’ two-year-old daughter.
