Jones Hill parents Lucie Santowski and Dylan Tucker had two due dates to expect the newest arrival to their family: December 26 and January 8.
So Lucas Daniel Tucker split the difference, arriving on January 1 at 8.20am and becoming the first child born in Gympie in the new year.
Lucas weighed in at just under 8 pounds at 3.6 kgs and Ms Santowski said it was a relief having him.
âI was 39 weeks and just exhausted,â Ms Santowski said.
âI had been getting pains but then I just knew and was like this is it.â
After calling the hospital and going into active labour at 6am, within two hours the baby had arrived.

It wasnât easy being a redshirt freshman this year. Not when he was used to playing and helping his Roswell football team win. Not only win but win championships. After having a year to grow and develop mentally and physically as a redshirt freshman, when the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds play in the spring, look for Justin Carrasco to play every down with 100% intensity like he does everything else.
