HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital announced that Denarrika Fisher and Charles Bell of Belleville, Illinois, welcomed their baby boy Denarius into the world at 12:12 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12.

The healthy baby boy weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth. Both he and mom are doing well.

The final full moon of 2019 — and this decade — officially occurred December 12 at 12:12 a.m EST. The full moon is called the Cold Moon.
