Here are three things to know about Tucsonβs first baby of 2018, Dominic Tribolet, who was born to Kassandra Burruel and Nicholas Tribolet at Tucson Medical Center at 12:00 a.m. Monday.
How did you pick the babyβs name?
Nicholas: βIt was a name Iβve always been interested in. Once I mentioned it to her, it was just automatic, you know, it was a given, like no discussion. So it just seemed the perfect fit.β
When did you realize you were having a New Yearβs baby?
Kassandra: βHis due date was on the seventh, but for medical reasons we had to get induced sooner, which I turned 39 weeks on the 31st, so it kind of just landed on there.β
Nicholas: βWe would joke about it throughout the pregnancy, just like little jokes here and there.
βItβs kind of funny to actually see it happened.β
Who does the baby look like?
Kassandra: βI think heβs a mush of both of us.β
Nicholas: βHonestly, it depends on the pictures you look at. Some people will say me based on some pictures, other ones say his mom.
βHe has my ears.β
