Galesburg's First Baby of 2013 Born
It took a little longer than New Year's day for a baby to be born in Galesburg, but the new addition seems to be healthy.

The 7 pound 9 ounce boy was brought into the world around 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

Parker Louis Andries was born in Galesburg, but to a family who doesn't reside in the area.

Chase Brotherton is the father - he tells WGIL he felt excited an happy, but also relieved.

"With pregnancy, you can have a lot of things go wrong real fast," Brotherton said. "So, I'm relieved that he was born, so far that we know, normally."

Brotherton says he was pleased the baby turned out to be a boy, but said he would've been fine with a girl.

He says that he and the mother didn't plan to have a baby for a few more days, but said it was a nice surprise.
