First local baby of 2022 arrives on New Year’s Day

Olivia Walker, daughter to Cheyanne and Colton Walker, became the first baby born at Ross Memorial Hospital in 2022 at 11:34 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 1.

“She gave us a run for our money,” said Cheyanne, referencing the 24 hours she spent in labour. “But definitely worth every second of it.”

Olivia weighed in at 7 pounds and 6 ounces and is the first child for the Lindsay residents.

“We’re very excited,” said the couple. “We can’t wait for her to meet the rest of her crazy family.”

Olivia was delivered by Dr. Yehuda Habaz.

Ross Memorial sends our congratulations and best wishes to the entire Walker family.
