CAY HILL--Two bouncing bundles of joy entered the world at St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) on Christmas Day.
The first baby, Vernicio Davon, was born to Damalee Connor and Vernon Prince at 8:25am. The second baby, Brianna Rachel, was born to Margarita Plasencia Hernandez and Alberto Smith 25 minutes later, at 8:50am.
Baby boy Vernicio, 2.554kg and 32 centimetres, is the third child for Connor and Prince. He was delivered by midwife Regina Janga.
Brianna was 3.368kg and 49.5cm when she was delivered by midwife Eveline Geerdink.
Connor told The Daily Herald she first had started feeling bouts of pain when she was in church on Friday evening while singing the song "A child is born" with the rest of the congregation. The pain eventually went away and returned when she was at home. Her partner wanted to take her to the hospital, but Damalee said the pain was bearable and she declined.
However, she started to feel unbearable pain around 4:00am and her boyfriend rushed her to the hospital. She was already somewhat dilated and was admitted. She did a few laps around the hospital, was dilated a bit more and baby Vernicio was born hours later.
Damalee said Vernicio had been scheduled to be born on January 1, but she always had thought he would be born on Christmas Day and she told this to everyone who asked her when she was due. She even made a bet to this effect with her boyfriend. She told this newspaper she was very happy with her Christmas gift and the new addition to her family.
Hernandez was admitted to the hospital on Friday evening and was in labour until baby Brianna was delivered. She too was happy with her bouncing bundle of joy. She couldn't take baby Brianna home right away, as the baby was placed in the incubator shortly after birth.
