Six newborns made their way into the world this Super Bowl Sunday at Windsor Regional Hospital's Met Campus.
With the New England Patriots set to kick off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Minneapolis, MN, the hospital provided some new swag to welcome some new lives into the world in the form of hand knitted football cocoons.
Four of the six babies born made their way to the waiting room for their first photo shoot.

Karl and Christine Leboeuf will now have a unique story to tell their new son Charlie. Karl isn't much of a football fan, but he says a lot of people will get a kick out of the distinction of having a "Super Bowl Baby."
"I'm not a big football fan, but everyone I work with is so they'll think this is cool," he says. "That will get me points at work I think, so I'm looking forward to that when I get back."
Bryan Burleigh and Jerrica Wood's daughter Leah will likely be regaled by the tale of her birth by her father. Burleigh is all about the Super Bowl and enjoyed seeing the Eagles come out on top to celebrate Leah's birthday Sunday.
"It's a little better than a New Year's baby," jokes Burleigh. "I'm just happy she has all her toes and all her fingers."

James and Eweling Churchill's daughter Meredith, and Lubna and Duraid Younis' son Adam were part of the festivities as well.
It's the fourth year the hospital had something special planned for newborn babies on Super Bowl Sunday.
