The maternity ward staff at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital has been watching April throughout her pregnancy. They decided to give a special crocheted giraffe hat to the first baby who was born at St. Joseph’s after April gave birth.
April the giraffe gave birth just before 10 o’clock Saturday morning.
