Christina Buttons(@buttonslives):Middle Tennessee is experiencing a baby boom even as the national birth rate remains near a historic low. At one Midtown Nashville hospital, a baby is born every 75 minutes. Tennessee has now seen four consecutive years of increasing births, reaching its highest annual total since 2008. Much of the growth has been concentrated in Middle Tennessee’s rapidly growing suburban counties, driven in part by an influx of millennials moving to the region. That includes @SwipeWright and me. We moved here from California several years ago, and our baby is due in January.
