One of the milestone events of each year is the arrival of the Mendocino Coast "New Year's Baby." We can probably all identify with the old man (2009) departing and the arrival of 2010. This year's New Year's Baby came to us with an interesting story. Proud parents, Lynn Williams and Chester Maiava (pictured) delivered their brand new baby boy on January 9. (Yes. In rural areas sometimes the new years baby arrives a few days late). A prenatal sonogram had predicted a 90% chance that the new baby was going to be a girl and the parents had decided to name her Alexa. Well, to everyone's surprise "Alexa" is actually a boy. So Lynn and Chester will, most likely, be choosing a new name. How about Alex? Congratulations again to Lynn Williams and Chester Maiava and our MCDH New Year's Baby for 2010! The family is also taking home a gift basket, compliments of the Obstetrics Department Nursing Staff at MCDH.
