Danielle Stenzel and David Delligatti Jr. rang in the new year with a bundle of joy when the mama delivered baby boy Jaxon Abel Delligatti at 6:20 a.m. on Jan. 1, the first baby born at St. Charles Hospital in 2016.
The Port Jefferson hospital presented Stenzel and Delligatti with a gift basket to celebrate the birth.
The couple is from Lake Grove and they are first-time parents.
A mother was delivering a baby on the side of the road when officers on patrol stepped in early Wednesday morning.
The Suffolk County Police Department said a car was stopped on the side of Deer Park Avenue, just south of Jericho Turnpike in Dix Hills, shortly after 2 a.m. and when patrol officer Joseph Ferro offered assistance, the driver said his wife was in active labor.
Officers Gerard Maxim and Jonathan Murray also responded, police said, and Murray helped the 32-year-old woman deliver a healthy baby girl.
Police said the Huntington Community First Aid Squad transported the Dix Hills couple and their new baby to Huntington Hospital.
