WEST BLOOMFIELD The first baby born in 2021 at Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital came at 1:04 am Jan. 1.
Despite not being expected until Jan. 8, Dean Itani made his world debut a week early, which came as a “pleasant surprise” to his mom, Summer Amireh, a resident of Northville.
Dean’s birth weight was 7 pounds, 12 ounces.
After 28 hours of labor and a New Year s kiss, a Gibraltar couple welcomed their second child into the world.
Gia Rose Nicoletti was born at 12:42 a.m. Jan. 1, the first baby at Beaumont Health s eight-hospital system in 2021.
Her original due date was Dec. 21, but Gia had her own timeline.
Gia s mother, Sara Nicoletti, was induced Wednesday evening. After a long labor, Gia was born by C-section at Beaumont Hospital, Dearborn.
She weighed 10 pounds, 5 ounces and was 23½ inches long longer than any baby in her parents families. That was of course the highlight of the night, said Gia s dad, Jacob Nicoletti. And then one of the nurses let us know that we were the first baby to be born in the health system of the New Year, and that put a cherry on top of the sundae.
