Grayson Phillip Suggs could not wait any longer and joined his parents earlier than originally anticipated.
Grayson arrived at 3:10 a.m. on January 1, 2019, as the first baby born in the New Year at Naval Hospital Bremerton’s Northwest Beginnings Family Birth Center.
Proud parents Michelle and Phillip Suggs, welcomed the birth of Grayson, who weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and was 20 inches long.
“He came three weeks early. Great to have him here,” said Phillip, assigned to the Los Angeles class attack submarine USS Jacksonville (SSN 699), currently in Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
The Labor & Delivery staff presented the Suggs family with a certificate from the commanding officer and a gift basket from the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society to celebrate the newest member of the Naval Hospital Bremerton family.
Michelle and Phillip are both from Florida and currently reside in Silverdale, Wash.
“We kept family updated all along through social media on the birth. Some stayed up until he was born,” Phillip said.
Both mother and baby are doing well.
The staff at Northwest Beginnings Family Birth Center was busy providing support for new parents throughout December. There were 52 new babies in the final month of 2018.
Overall, Naval Hospital Bremerton recorded 490 births for 2018, an average of approximately 41 per month.
