Her first bundle of joy weighed a sturdy 6 pounds, 13.9 ounces, while the second was 5 pounds., 15.4 ounces, the hospital said. The girls were Crumbie’s third and fourth child with partner, Jordan Tomlinson.
Shortly after the delivery, a healthy baby boy weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces, was delivered at 12:14 a.m. at NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital in Manhattan.
Parents Naomi and Jacob Gottesman, of Rockaway, Queens, had originally expected their yet-to-be named son to arrive on Christmas Eve but he showed up more than a week late, said a rep for the hospital.
