“It’s really cool she gets to share her birthday with her grandma,” Katherine Heady said.

Heady said their family and staff rang in the new year wearing party hats and using noise makers. As the first baby born at Overlake this year, Demsie and family were the recipients of a special New Year’s baby basket, which included items such as a new breast pump, blankets, baby wipes and clothes.

“Everyone that helped us out was awesome,” Heady said.

Mother and baby are doing fine, and both went home on Wednesday.
