Rose Honore and Duane McConnell celebrated the New Year with one of the first bundles of joy born in 2012.
Nina Love McConnell-Honore, the first baby born at New York Hospital Queens, and among the first in the city, was welcomed to the world 18 minutes into the New Year, weighing in at 7-pounds 10-ounces.
“I feel great. I feel special and so does she,” said mother, Rose Honore, about her and the baby. “She is sweet, quiet and lovely. That’s why her middle name is Love.”
Among the gifts bestowed on the proud family were a $1,000 savings bond and a congratulatory basket of flowers from the hospital.
