Carmina Salcido gives birth to baby girl

<p>Carmina Salcido is back home from Petaluma Valley Hospital with a new reason to celebrate being alive.</p><p>Carmina gave birth on April 13 to Zoe — official name, Zophia Angela Salcido. Carmina selected Petaluma Valley for the birth because it was that hospital's staff that helped save her life and showered her with love following her father's killing spree 22 years ago.</p><p>One PVH nurse told Carmina last week, “I held you when you were here.”</p><p>In April of 1989, Ramon Salcido murdered Carmina's mother, Angela, and slashed nearly 3-year-old Carmina's throat and those of her sisters, Sofia, 4, and Teresa, 22 months, both of whom died. The winery worker also killed four others.</p><p>Carmina, now 25, admits she was made a bit anxious by the prospect her child might be born on the April 14 anniversary of the nightmare wrought by her father, who's now on Death Row.</p><p>But Zophia (6 pounds, 6 ounces and 20 inches tall) arrived one day earlier. “Before the tragedy, a new beginning,” said Carmina.</p>
