Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital rings in the New Year with their first newborn delivery of 2019.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital rang in the New Year with its first newborn delivery of the year. Benjamin Cole Fulcher arrived New Year’s Day at 8:53 a.m. weighing seven pounds, one ounce, and measuring 19 3/4 inches long.



Proud parents Kylie and Jacob Fulcher of Spring were happy to introduce Benjamin to his three-and-a-half-year-old big sister, Braelynn, who had been patiently awaiting his arrival.



“Benjamin is a wonderful New Year’s present!” said Kylie. “We think he looks a lot like his sister.”



While mom Kylie had the privilege of choosing a unique name for their daughter, dad Jacob had the honor for his son and said he chose the name Benjamin because he wanted more of an old-fashioned, traditional name.



The new bundle of joy marks the fourth grandchild for David Duke of Spring. “He’s is my second grandson,” said the grandfather. “What a great way to start the New Year!”
