First Atlanta baby of new year born at midnight

ATLANTA,None — Northside Hospital said it delivered the first Atlanta baby of 2012 at midnight on Jan. 1.

Jennifer and Ryan Leo of Suwanee welcomed their third child, a daughter name Scarlett Rayne, just after the clock struck 12.

Scarlett weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and was 21 inches long.

"We watched the ball drop and then she came," Jennifer Leo said.  The couple had little noise makers and tiaras to celebrate the event.  "It was a fun experience."

Ryan Leo said they were delighted to have Scarlett several hours before she was expected.
