"The New Year's baby for 2011 arrived on schedule according to the parents, however the hospital staff begged to differ," said Heidi Kelso Marketing Director at Central Valley Medical Center. "Even though we always hope a baby is born on January 1, we have also learned that babies come when they are ready," Kelso quickly added.
