Valentine's Day Babies Born at STHS Edinburg
Welcoming a baby into the world is always a reason to rejoice. But there’s extra special cause for celebration when a baby is born on a holiday, especially one as sweet as Valentine’s Day.
Weighing in at 6 lbs., 12 oz. and measuring 20 inches long, Little Olivia Veronica Rodriguez arrived at The Maternity Center at South Texas Health System Edinburg at 1:24 a.m. on Friday, February 14, making her the first baby delivered at an STHS facility on Valentine’s Day, a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.
While Olivia was the first baby welcomed at an STHS facility on Valentine’s Day, The Maternity Center at STHS Edinburg and The Maternity at STHS McAllen anticipate the arrival of at least five more infants this holiday.
