At 4:52am Monday, baby Andrew Harris Jr. took his first breath at Mount Sinai Hospital, becoming Sinai Chicago’s first baby of 2024. The son of Sade Humphrey and Andrew Harris Jr. of Chicago, Andrew Harris Jr. made his entrance into the world on New Year’s Day morning coming in at 6 pounds 1.5 ounces. “At Sinai Chicago, we’re always excited to see who our first baby of the New Year will be,” said Dr. Richard Trester, Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Mount Sinai Hospital. “It’s such a special moment for the family in bringing a wonderful new life into this world,” added Trester. To celebrate the wonderful occasion, the family was gifted an assembled basket of clothes, toys and $100 visa gift card to take home. Caregivers from Sinai’s Mother-Baby unit were there immediately after the birth to award the family the gift and tell them the exciting news. “We want to make our families feel special by sending them home with a little something to celebrate their new bundle of joy,” said Irene Cisneros, Nursing Manager of the Mother Baby Unit. “We love to celebrate the first baby. It’s such a wonderful way to start the New Year, with new life and hope,” added Cisneros.
