BABY GIRL WAS BORN AT SESAME PLACE
THIS PAST WEEKEND

When Mom Takia Mann (of Manhattan) brought her two children to Sesame Place on Saturday, she never expected to leave with THREE children!

ELMO AND ABBY CADABBY BRING GIFTS TO BABY,
MOMMY (TAKIA MANN) AND HER TWO LITTLE BROTHERS
AT ST. MARY’S MEDICAL CENTER

When: Monday, July 28, 2008   1 p.m.

Where: St Mary's Medical Center 1201 Langhorne Newtown Rd    Langhorne, PA 19047

What: Sesame Street walkaround characters Elmo and Abby Cadabby, who live at Sesame Place, will visit Mom Takia Mann, 21, and her three children – Jayden 2 ˝, Nazir, 1, and the new baby girl (who at the time this advisory was not named yet)! Elmo and Abby will visit them with Paula Pritchard, Director of Communications of Sesame Place. They will bring Season Passes for 2009 that they can also use for the remainder of this season plus all of 2009 (since the little brothers only spent 20 minutes in Sesame Place after traveling from New York) and surprise gifts!

Background:   When Takia Mann (of Manhattan) brought her two children to Sesame Place on Saturday, she never expected she’d leave with THREE children!

The plan was for the family to have a day of fun at Sesame Place BUT,

20 minutes into the visit mom went into the restroom and came out with a baby girl! Her water broke and the little baby girl entered the world – in the restroom at Sesame Place! The baby was so cooperative even her umbilical chord broke off naturally.   Mom said,

“It happened so fast. I didn’t have pain just SHOCK!”  

A woman in a nearby stall asked Takia if she were alright and Takia opened the door with her brand new baby in her arms. Sesame Place EMT, Emily Raab, 20, checked out the baby who was healthy and weighed 5 lbs., 11 ounces!

Takia and baby were taken by ambulance to St. Mary’s Hospital. All are doing well and are scheduled to return home on Monday afternoon, after her children have a special visit with Elmo and Abby Cadabby!
