Our baby numbers grew by “leaps and bounds” yesterday as five moms gave birth at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional and one at TidalHealth Nanticoke on February 29, Leap Day of this 2024 Leap Year.
We were lucky to snap photos of the Seaford baby and most of the Salisbury babies (some of the moms are still recovering and it was best to give them a little more time to rest) who now will only age one year every four years compared to us growing a year older each year…or so we’re told.
That also brings up the interesting question that we asked—answers below—will you celebrate your baby’s birthday on those non-leap years on February 28 or March 1?
Tru’ Hitch
Tru’ was born at 11:26 am at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional to La’Keeta Taylor and Brandon Hitch of Princess Anne, Md. He weighed in at 6 pounds and 15 ounces and 20 inches in length. He has three brothers and sisters waiting for him to join the family. Mom says Tru’ will celebrate his birthday on non-leap years on March 1. We also found it very interesting that Tru’s great-great-grandmother was also a Leap Year baby!
Malaysia Ava Bien-Aime
Malaysia was 7 pounds 5 ounces and 18 inches in length when she entered the world at 2:55 am at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional. Mom, Milande and Dad, Micanes, have two other children at home in Salisbury, Md. They tell us Malaysia will celebrate her non-leap year birthdays on February 28.
Charles Campbell, III
Charles was born at 7:17 am at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional to Aubrey and Charles Campbell, Jr. He was 20 ½ inches at birth and weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces. He has two siblings at home in Mardela Springs, Md. Mom and dad say Charles will celebrate his non-leap year birthdays on February 28.
Serenity Johnson
Serenity was born at 8:47 pm at TidalHealth Nanticoke to Erica Johnson of Laurel, Del. She weighed 6 pounds, 3 ounces at birth and measured 19 inches in length, and has two siblings at home waiting to meet her. Mom says Serenity will celebrate her non-leap year birthdays on February 28.
