“My other son was born on Halloween, so this will be just another special day to celebrate,” said Kennedy.
“My parents didn’t sleep last night. They’re excited,” Kennedy said, adding her parents were the first visitors to arrive at the hospital to meet the newborn.
“My mom didn’t realize he was a leap year baby until I told her this morning. I guess it was the last thing on their mind.”
