First Baby of 2013 in Playas de Rosarito is Born (El Sol de Tijuana, 1/3/13)
Playas de Rosarito, BC - In the municipality of Rosarito the first baby was born on 2 January 2013. Edgar Acosta is the name of the infant expected by the family.
The system for the Integral Development of the Family (DIF), chaired by First Lady Karla López de Robles, went to the Hospital where the mother gave birth to make the official presentation of a basket of accessories for the baby.
"Having a child is one of the greatest congratulations in DIF. We are very pleased to be able to give them a basket for the baby and we reiterate that if they require support, to come to the paramunicipal", said the First Lady.
The support given by Lopez Robles consists of clothing, diapers, headwear, accessories, a blanket, as well as a stroller and pantry items.
Karla Martínez de Jesús, the mother of little Edgar who was born in the General Hospital of Rosarito, cheerfully explained when she received the present, "I'm very happy to have my baby in my arms and deliver this gift for my son Edgar".
But to have Edgar come into the world, his parents went through various difficulties. "I was in the house, then I heard my wife start to scream and very strong in the pain of childbirth and then I thought, now my son will be born", said Salvador Acosta, the father of the newborn.
Even while nervous, he shared his experience, since he said that at that time in the absence of a car he had to call a taxi, but realized he had no credit on his cell phone, so he had to leave his wife and run to a self-service store to replenish the balance.
"I went running to the store and called a taxi, but when the taxi arrived, she had to go to the hospital alone because I was staying to care for our other children", explained the man. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldetijuana/notas/n2828090.htm
