Fresh babies in hospital shirts pull on my heart. Wrinkly, sleepy, brand new — exactly as they are.
Whether you spent months planning the tiniest details and the most perfect outfit or you’re just soaking in the moment, I’m here for both. 🤍

Already five days into January and wondering where the heck December went. Back to school and work and finding routine again. Happy New Year!

Congratulations, Bruggemans!

Mercer Health’s first baby of the year was born on Thursday, January 1, 2026. A baby girl, Vera, born to Krista and Ross Bruggeman of St. Henry, arrived at 10:39 a.m., weighing 8 pounds, 15.4 ounces and measuring 21inches long. She was welcomed by big sister Sylvia.

The family received multiple gifts including a fresh 48 photography session by Beth Fortkamp, a Mercer Health blanket and stainless steel tumbler, a basket of baby items, a $50 gift card from The Gift Shop at Mercer Health, and more!

Fun fact: In 2025 the Mercer Health Childbirth Center helped welcome 460 babies!
