BROWNSVILLE, Texas -- When we first met 23-year-old Rocio Morado of Brownsville, Texas, last month, she was 36 weeks pregnant and doctors were seeing problems with her baby on ultrasound.
Morado tested positive for Zika infection. The virus is carried by mosquitoes both in Brownsville and across the border in Mexico, where she visited family early in her pregnancy.
"I'm kind of sad, but I know everything is going to be OK," Morado said last month.
Since then, she's had her baby, Hugo.
"I feel so happy, I'm so in love with him," she said.
He was born almost three weeks ago with the small-head characteristic of microcephaly and faces an uncertain future in terms of his development.
Ahead of mosquito season, 18 pregnant women in Texas area have Zika
It is going to be a long summer.
