The first baby of the new year arrived at 1:12 a.m. Sunday, Jan.1, at Saline Memorial Hospital when a boy named Nico was born to Bianca and Dave.
Nico weighed 7 pounds and 15 ounces and measured 20 inches.
The family’s last name was not released to protect the baby’s safety, according to a news release from the hospital.
“We had our first child at Saline Memorial, too, and both times the staff have made the experience absolutely perfect!” said Bianca. “A special thanks for Dr. Robb for always making us feel like a priority. We consider him to be like family, and the nurses have always made us feel so loved and well cared for.”
Saline Memorial Hospital is devoted to providing high quality, compassionate care close to home for new and expecting parents in the community. Seven providers specialize in prenatal care, and free birthing classes and a lactation specialist are available.

“I first want to congratulate Bianca and Dave on the new addition to their family,” said Dr. James Robb, OB/GYN. “It has been an honor to be a part of their experience. I also want to thank our staff for taking such great care of our patients. I know they went above and beyond to gather items and create a special gift in preparation for the first baby of the year and ensure it would be a special experience for the parents.”
