Welcoming him are parents Monica and William Meadows of New Rockford, N.D., and big sister, Vera, age 2.<\/p>\n<p>William added, \u201cWe\u2019re excited about the New Year\u2019s Baby. We\u2019re especially excited for Troy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sleeping and eating have come naturally for Troy, who is 20.25 inches long and weighs 7 pounds, 11 ounces. Dr. Sarah Schatz and Dr. Christopher Maki delivered him via a planned cesarean section. So far, mom and baby are doing well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe medical team is amazing here,\u201d William said. \u201cJRMC is the Hilton of hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Troy is named after the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Troy Aikman. A long-time fan of the team, William said he\u2019s also a fan of the name. Troy gets his middle name from his maternal grandfather, Allen Swedmark of Bemidji, Minn.<\/p>\n<p>Even though William and Monica left their house before 4 a.m., the couple agreed that this birth was less dramatic than their last one. Monica labored for 40 hours before delivering Vera via cesarean section in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe staff is awesome here,\u201d William said.<\/p>\n<p>After the first of the year, JRMC always looks forward to meeting the New Year\u2019s Baby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe New Year\u2019s baby always warms our hearts on these cold days,\u201d said JRMC Family BirthPlace Manager Emily Woodley. \u201cIt always feels good to start a new year with a new life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, 333 babies were born at JRMC, compared to 318 in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Family BirthPlace, call (701) 952-4807.\u00ad\u00ad<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown, ND, January 2, 2018 (JRMC) \u00a0\u2014 His first cry sounded like a cat, his mom said. \u201cBut I think that\u2019s because we make a lot of animal sounds in our house,\u201d she said, smiling.
