Although we're only one day into the New Year, Loyola Hospital in Maywood is already claiming that the Chicago area's first baby of 2011 was born there just one second after midnight. Baby Alejandra Maya Arroyo weighed in at 5 pounds, 11 ounces and is 18 inches long, according to a press release via the Chicago Sun-Times. She was born to parents Rosalinda Arroyo, 35, and Alejandro Arroyo, 40, a couple from west suburban Cicero that have been married for 19 years.
