Gabriel Michael Ehni, Carson-Tahoe Regional Medical Center’s first baby for 2021, was ready to come easily and happily, his mother Corinne Ehni said Friday.“There were no problems,” she said. “He’s very healthy and very happy. … We’re very excited.”Ehni and her husband, David, of Carson City delivered their son through a scheduled Caesarean section and said it was a great way to bring in the new year, not worried that if anything happened, Carson Tahoe’s staff were available to assist.
Gabriel is their first son, born at 8:53 a.m. at 8 pounds and 3 ounces.
“We’d been trying for years and it finally happened, and to hear his heart, we couldn’t wait,” Ehni said. “I was crying. I could not wait to snuggle him and have him close to me. This was a very smooth delivery.”
David Ehni works at Capital Cab as a nighttime driver while Corinne now will be a stay-at-home mother.
“The plan now is to take care of him and keep him healthy and make sure he has everything he needs,” she said.
They’ll also have help from other family members in Carson and nearby Dayton.
“It’s definitely the best way to start off a brand new year,” she said. “It brings hope to the future.
