The baby came into the world at 12:11 a.m. on Thursday February 29, "an extra day that only comes once every four years."
Hartford Healthcare described itself as “Jumping with Joy.”
It was over the birth of baby on a relatively rare day: Leap Day.
What would happen without a Leap Day? More than you might think
According to a spokesperson for the health care system, Kara and Mike of Plantsville welcomed “their beautiful baby boy,” Jackson, into the world at 12:11 a.m. on Thursday February 29, “an extra day that only comes once every four years.”
Jackson weighed 9 pounds and 4.7 ounces and “made his special entrance, bouncing into the world at The Hospital of Central Connecticut.”
