Angel Velazquez Martinez, a 4 pound, 15 ounce baby boy, was born at Broward Health Medical Center at 2:11 a.m. He is his mother Luz Martinez Arellano’s second child. Arellano and Angel’s father, Gerardo Velazquez Camacho, were excited to welcome baby Angel into their family.
"I cant believe he’s here already," she said. "I actually thought they were going to send me back home because when I got here they said that I was only 35 weeks and no way."

She wasn’t due until February 2nd, and was already sent home from the hospital on December 30th after coming in with contractions, but not this time.
"The meaning for Angel is a present of God because a year ago I had a miscarriage so I do believe he's my little gift from heaven," she said.
