First baby born in 2023 at Corewell Health Gerber Hospital
FREMONT, Mich., Jan. 6, 2023 — The new year’s first baby born at Corewell Health™ Gerber Hospital, the new name of Spectrum Health Gerber Memorial Hospital, is Kaylee Ann Flatt, born to Newaygo residents Anastaisha Stack and Dillon Flatt. Kaylee was delivered by Lindsay Schmiedeknecht, MD at 10:29 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023. She weighed 7lbs, 9 oz. and is 19.5 inches long. Anastaisha and Dillon didn’t know the sex of the baby until about a month before delivery. “When we had our last ultrasound, we found out the sex of the baby, but they weren’t 100% certain it was a girl,” said Stack. Kaylee Ann was named after several family members including both grandmothers and Dillon’s brother. “We both really liked the name Kaylee and wanted to give our daughter the middle name Ann in honor of both our moms who have the middle name Ann,” said Stack. “Dillon’s brother’s middle name is Lee, so it seemed perfect to use his middle name as part of Kaylee’s name.” At home Kaylee joins her 5-year-old sister, Allie, who couldn’t wait to bring her baby sister home. “We were all very anxious to meet her, and Allie wanted to bring Kaylee home the day she was born,” said Stack. With the delivery being scheduled on the third day of January, the couple didn’t expect to have the first baby born in 2023. “It’s crazy to think we had the first baby born at the hospital with our delivery three days into the new year. We definitely weren’t expecting that,” commented Stack. In looking toward the future, Stack said she can’t predict what her daughter will be when she grows up, but she did mention the aspirations of big sister Allie. “My oldest wants to be a doctor when she grows up,” said Stack. “She came to every one of my appointments to help me and the doctor.”
