The proud parents of the first baby born at Stratford General Hospital in 2025 are equal parts excited and exhausted.
Baby girl Nora came into the world at 4:04 a.m., New Year’s Day, weighing 9 pounds, 6 ounces.
Proud father Owen Ainger (AIN-JER), tells MyStratfordNow how exciting it has been having a new addition to the family.
“It’s been wonderful, although you know, I could ask for a little bit more sleep. Other than that, she’s been perfect.”
Mother, Tyla Richards, is doing well after the birth, albeit a little exhausted, says Ainger.
The Stratford residents were thrilled to hear they were having a girl.
“We’ve been excited the moment they told us it was a girl.”
Nora is the second child for the couple, and is the apple of her big brother Kaedyn’s eyes.
Although the four-year-old believed his mom was having a “robot”, he’s happy to now have a new baby sister.
