First Baby of 2017 Born at Good Samaritan Medical Center

Aaron Olumide's early arrival made him the local hospital's first baby of 2017.

Aaron Olumide just could not wait to see his mom and dad. His early arrival marked Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center’s first baby of 2017.

Aaron’s early arrival was so unexpected that his parents, Damilare and his wife, Afolake, still have not decided on a middle name for their baby boy.

“We still thought we had 10 more weeks but he surprised us,” Damilare said. “Now he’s here and we’re happy to see him”

Aaron was delivered at 9:18 am by Laura Falkowski and he weighed just three pounds, six ounces. He is the first child for the West Babylon couple.

As the “First Family of 2017,” Good Samaritan treated the Olumide family to a private, complimentary room and a gift basket with clothing and accessories provided by Bubble in Babylon and My Little Rascal in Islip.
