The first baby born at Morris Hospital in 2023 was born three days before her due date. Paige Lee Ann Wade was born to Kayla Koch and Jeremy Wade of Marseilles Monday morning. She was six pounds, five ounces, and measured 19 inches. The couple wasn’t expecting to have the first baby of the new year but Jeremy said that he remembers at one time saying that maybe they would have a New Year’s baby. Kayla started having contractions around midnight on New Year’s Day night. The couple got to the hospital around 3am. Paige would enter the world around three hours later. She has two older siblings, a three year old sister named Aliana and a 15 year old brother named Brendon.
