Northwestern Medical Center is pleased to announce the birth of our first baby of 2022. On Saturday, January 1, Kaylynn and Marty Fredrick welcomed a baby boy into their family, but haven’t yet settled on a name.

The Fredricks, who live in St. Albans, were happy to meet their newest child – who was born at 3:24 a.m., a healthy 6 pounds, 13 ounces, measuring 17 inches long. The New Year’s baby joins his four siblings – a sister and three brothers, who are eager to meet him.

As the first baby born at NMC in 2022, the Fredricks’ son was presented a hand-made wooden rocking horse, crafted by Natural Hardwoods of Highgate Center. The NMC family would like to wish the Fredricks a happy and healthy New Year!
