These Babies Were the First Ones Born in 2019, and What a Way to Ring in the New Year!

Although little Danarious Ritchie was among the first infants to be born in 2019 in Virginia, he took a little longer to make his grand entrance. The little boy was born at 6:53 a.m. on Tuesday, one week past his originally due date.

"It just means more happiness, the more the merrier, actually this is our final child," his mom Alaina Ritchie told an ABC affiliate. "So we're really blessed to have three very healthy children."
