-The very exclusive New Year's babies club is welcoming new members. Remember: You can only join as Dec. 31 turns into Jan. 1.
Expectant parents, you know what that means: Contractions instead of Champagne. Pushing instead of partying. Delivery instead of revelry.
But what a celebration afterwards and what a story to tell for the rest of your life.
We asked you to share your adventures of giving birth on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day on the TODAY Parents Facebook page and the response was amazing.
Here are some of our favorite members of the New Year's babies club:
Alex
April Vellotti's son Alex was born at 2:53 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2013, after she went into labor more than two weeks early.
"On New Year's Eve, I did not believe I was having contractions. At 11:00 p.m. we decided to go to the hospital and see what was going on," she wrote. "It was fast and furious from that point on."
Alex, who weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces, has "such a fun, outgoing personality! He will be 2 years old this New Year's. He enjoys playing with cars and aggravating his 8-month-old little brother," Vellotti added.
Sydnee
Bri Mason's daughter Sydnee was born on Jan. 1, 2011, three days before her due date.
"I was in a race with another mother to have the first baby of the New Year at our hospital. Unfortunately, the other mom beat us," Mason quipped.
Meanwhile, her husband was actually hoping the baby would arrive on or before Dec. 31 for tax reasons, but it was not to be.
"Sydnee is every bit as special as her 1-1-11 New Years Birthday!" Mason writes.
Adam and Andrew
Deena Brown Little's twin sons Adam and Andrew were born Jan. 1, 2006, both at 2:44 a.m., more than a month earlier than expected.
"They decided to help us start the year off with a bang! We were at a New Year's Eve party, and as the ball dropped on TV, my water broke!" Little recalled.
"As we arrived at the hospital, the first thing they told me was that we didn't have the first baby of the new year. My OB/GYN still insists they were the first twins born in 2006, though!"
Lilliana
Tracy Amadori's daughter Lilliana was born Jan. 1, 2014, at 12:58 a.m., Western New York's first baby of the year.
"We didn't know the sex of the baby, so we had a blue and pink Superman hat ready to announce to the family," Amadori wrote. "Little did we know we would be on the news and in the paper, Lilliana being called the 'Superbaby!' She has been the best baby we could have ever hoped for and soon to be big sister!"
Madison
Nikki Coffey's daughter Madison was born at 9:19 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2008, in Lincoln, Nebraska.
"My entire pregnancy I joked about her coming on New Year's since my due date was Jan. 8. I had joked so much about it that people didn't believe me when I said I was having contractions! I remember driving to the hospital and watching the fireworks going off when it hit midnight, and as I watched them I whispered to my sweet unborn baby, 'Those are for you!'" Coffey wrote.
"The first time I laid eyes on her it was like everything else became fuzzy, nothing else mattered in the world but this perfect tiny little person with ten adorable chubby fingers and ten precious little toes. I can't believe that in just a few short weeks, my smart, kind, and loving baby girl will be 7 years old."
Brylie Rae
Amy Workman's daughter Brylie Rae was born at 5:41 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2010, two weeks earlier than expected. But even though she was Workman's first child, the mom has experience with New Year's babies -- she was one herself!
Workman was born on Jan. 1, 1986, at 6:24 a.m. -- the first baby of the year in Plymouth, Indiana. Exactly 24 years later, she was back in the delivery room giving birth to the town's first baby of 2010.
"It is crazy to think that we were less than an hour apart of being born at the same time and we were only 4 ounces away from weighing the same. It is so incredible to share a birthday with her. She is so bubbly and so full of life. We are known as the birthday girls in our home," Workman writes.
