this headline niggles me

"Tiger woods’ wife gives birth to healthy baby"

Why include the "healthy" unless it wasn't expected to be healthy? And why not say boy or girl instead of baby? I mean, what else would it be?! An afro? A five-faced maggot?

To healthy tiger baby, wife gives woods birth
Baby tiger gives healthy birth wife to woods
Healthy birth baby gives woods to tiger wife
Tiger Woods gives birth to healthy wife baby
Woods wife gives birth to healthy tiger, baby!

When Tiger Woods himself gives birth, I'll sit up and take notice. Otherwise . . .
