First U.S. Baby Born in 2008
Gabrio Alan Perez from Santa Rita, Guam, has made history for being the first baby born on American soil in 2008. His 31-year-old mom, Cynthia Quinata, popped him out at 12:01 a.m. after only two pushes. The newborn--who weighed eight pounds, six ounces--is her seventh child. Quinata and Gabrio's 36-year-old dad, Alan Perez, received gifts totaling more than $4,000 from companies across Guam, including two $1,000 saving bonds, free hotel rooms, and food. Dr. Thomas Shieh, who helped bring Gabrio into this world, has delivered every New Year's baby since 2000.
