Some families on Long Island are preparing to bring new children home for the new year.

Aziya Dream Shingler was the first baby born in 2018 in Nassau County. She came into the world at 12:19 a.m. at LIJ Medical Center. She's the fourth daughter for Tamari and Aaron, of Hempstead.

In Suffolk, Angelina Felix and Isai Zane Garcia welcomed their son Hayden to the world at Stony Brook University Hospital just after 1 a.m. 

He is the Riverhead couple's fifth child.
