Flashback Friday: New Year's babies from the year 2000

On this week's throwback, we go back 24 years to when the newest Quad Citizens were the first in our area to be born in the year 2000.

MOLINE, Ill. — For this week's Flashback Friday, we're going back 24 years, to the turn of the century. 

We found a news story from Jan. 1, 2000, that's all about the first babies born in the Quad Cities for the new year and the new millennium. 

It turns out, neither one was supposed to be born when they were. In fact, both babies were expected before Christmas 1999. But by holding out, they ended up on the news both in 2000 and now in 2024. 

Check out the above video for the full story. And tune into The Current on News 8 every Friday for another weekly edition of our throwback series.
