They rang in the New Year with a double dose of cheer.
Adorable twin girls born in Brooklyn just after midnight were among New York City’s first babies of 2025, hospitals said Wednesday.
Sheneece Crumbie, a proud mother from Crown Heights, welcomed her newborn babies just after midnight at 12:01 and 12:02 a.m. at NYC Health + Hospitals’ Kings County branch. The babies are yet to be named.
The first baby girl weighed a solid 6 pounds, 13.9 ounces, while the second baby girl weighed 5 pounds, 15.4 ounces. These babies are Crumbie’s third and fourth children with her partner, Jordan Tomlinson.
At NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital in Manhattan, shortly after the birth of Crumbie’s babies, another healthy baby boy, weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces, was born at 12:14 a.m.
Parents Naomi and Jacob Gottesman, of Rockaway, Queens, had originally expected their yet-to-be named son to arrive on Christmas Eve but he showed up more than a week late, said a rep for the hospital.
Later, a baby boy named Sidney Cassian Landvall was born at 1:23 a.m. at Mount Sinai West, much to the delight of exhausted first-time mom Kimberley Brown.
“It was quite dramatic,” said Brown, who was in labor for 24 hours, and ultimately had a C-section.
It was her goal to have the hospital’s first baby of the year, she said.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Brown said. “I manifested it.”
