Medical professionals aboard the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort delivered baby Esther at 2:27 p.m. on Jan. 21. She is the first baby delivered aboard the 1,000-bed floating hospital, which is in Haiti supporting Operation Unified Response. Weighing less than five pounds, baby Esther was delivered seven weeks prematurely by cesarean section as her mother sustained pelvis and femur fractures during the earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12. Despite being premature, she is healthy and was delivered without complications.
