Antioch girl arrives a minute into 2022


The first baby born in Santa Rosa made his appearance in the world at 12:31 a.m. Saturday, a Kaiser spokesman clarified.

The baby is a boy born to a Rohnert Park family. The spokesman had earlier incorrectly said the baby was born at 12:45 a.m.

The first baby born in the Bay Area in 2022 appears to be a girl who entered the world in the seconds after the stroke of midnight in Antioch.

She was born at 12:01 a.m. at Kaiser Permanente's Antioch Medical Center, according to the spokesperson.

Other early ‘New Year’s' babies born at Kaiser hospitals include a 12:20 a.m. birth of a girl in Santa Clara from a San Jose residence. 

At 12:32 a.m., a boy was born at Kaiser Permanente in San Leandro. Hospital officials did not have a home city for the family.
