First Baby of 2018 Welcomed at Williamson Medical Center

 

Proud parents Keri and Chris Buttrey from Fairview welcomed a healthy baby boy at 6:10 a.m. on New Year’s Day. Owen Andrew Buttrey arrived weighing in at six pounds, five ounces, and 19 inches long and was the first baby of 2018 born at Williamson Medical Center. This is the second child for the couple and their second time to deliver at the medical center.

Although Keri’s due date wasn’t until January 19, both parents had a feeling their bundle of joy would arrive much sooner than expected. According to the parents, the family even had a friendly wager going.

The Buttrey family also received another unexpected surprise when they were presented with the hospital’s annual red wagon full of newborn toys and necessities to officially welcome the first baby of the year.
