"She was actually supposed to be on the 23rd. She came early,"  Weaver said. "This was a total surprise."

Weaver said she was working on New Year's Eve and didn't expect the childbirth. 

"I was really surprised my water broke at work and I work in Middletown so, I had to rush back here to New Britain and call my doctor,"  Weaver said.

Siblings 10 year old Michael, 8-year-old sister Maleiah and two-year-old Sanai said they were thrilled to meet their new sister Amari, who was sporting a bib that said "my first new year." 

"She's here and she is my little angel,"  Weaver said.
