There was a certain symmetry to the arrival of the Washington area’s first baby of the new year. As 2012 made its debut, so did a baby girl in Maryland--at precisely 12:12 a.m.
She is the first daughter - and third child — of Irja and Greg Bonafede, a military family from Upper Marlboro, and weighed in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces at Southern Maryland Hospital Center in Clinton.
Her mother went into labor at the Baltimore Train Museum, where the family spent much of Saturday. She was taken to the hospital at about 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. The family was thrilled yesterday morning with her midnight-hour arrival.
“We were a little astounded,” said Greg Bonafede, the happy father. “We had no idea it would be smack-dab at midnight. But of course the baby has her own idea of things.”
