Weighing in at 6 pounds, 8 ounces, Naomi Samuel was Medical City Arlington's first baby of 2024 on New Year's Day. She said "hello world!" just a few minutes after midnight. 

The hospital's labor and delivery team made sure Naomi made her debut in-style, decorated her suite with holiday-themed black and gold details. No Champagne though. 

Across town, in Mansfield Clayton Bradley was hot on Naomi's heels, arriving an hour after midnight on New Year's Day at 1:10 a.m.

"We're thrilled!"

Clayton also received a special gift basket and a new baby book as well. 

Congratulations to both families on their new beginnings.
