Mary Washington Hospital proudly announces the arrival of the first baby born in the Fredericksburg region for the new year. Baby girl Kylah Ann made her debut at 1:55 a.m., weighing 7 pounds, 1 ounce. She is the daughter of Erica and Christopher, residents of Spotsylvania.
Erica and Christopher were not expecting to have their baby so soon, as Kylah made her debut five weeks early! They were heading to a New Year’s Eve party when plans suddenly changed and they found themselves heading to the hospital instead. Kylah is currently getting amazing care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Mary Washington Hospital. Both Kylah and Erica are doing great. “I knew as soon as I heard her cry, that she was a fighter,” says Erica.
Stafford Hospital also kicked off the new year with a heartwarming arrival of their own! Baby Miles Roy, weighing 6 pounds, 1.5 ounces, made his debut at 4:59 a.m., bringing joy to his parents, Jessica and Ken of Spotsylvania, and the entire community. Adding a touch of excitement, Miles’ gender was kept a surprise until delivery! While his big brothers – Garrett, 5, and Jackson, 2– had their hearts set on a sister, they could not be happier to welcome their new baby brother.
Mary Washington Healthcare extends heartfelt congratulations to the new parents and warmly welcomes these little New Year’s babies into the world. The arrival of Kylah and Miles symbolizes hope and new beginnings, perfectly aligning with the spirit of the New Year.
