El Paso’s First Babies of 2022: Families Ring In New Year Welcoming New Bundles of Joy

It’s a boy! And a girl! And another girl! And more boys! Happy birth day to El Paso’s first babies of 2022.

For the second year in a row, the first “bundle of joy” of the New Year was born at the Hospitals of Providence Memorial Campus. This year that distinction belongs to Kaleth Lopez who was born at 12:02 a.m., per a post on the hospital's Facebook.

According to published reports, this makes the third boy for mother Jasmin Arras and father Julian Lopez who will no doubt have their hands full. Because raising 3 boys is easy … said no one ever.

Besides Kaleth, El Paso’s newest residents also includes two more boys and two girls.

Welcome to the world, little ones. Sorry we've left such a dumpster fire for your generation to put out. And congratulations moms and dads on the births of your sweet, adorable little screaming, pooping tax deductions.
