Janice Marie (left) arrived on Nov. 7 and Jeanette was born 26 minutes later - on Nov. 8. The Birtons have nine other children at home.

As the old year wanes and the new year approaches, parents-to-be seem to fall into two camps: those who want their bundles of joy to arrive before midnight for income tax deductions and those who want to have the first babies of the year. Shown holding her priceless - but $600 for Internal Revenue Service purposes - arrival is Mrs. Rudolph (Darla) Carriere of 1363 Byron, Ypsilanti. The Carriere lad arrived at 6:38 a.m. yesterday at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. He was five hours old at this "sitting."
