Alpharetta Couple Gives Birth To Hospital's First Baby of 2015

Submitted by Northside Hospital-Forsyth

Northside Hospital-Forsyth is proud to announce its first baby of 2015.

Everley “Evie” Elizabeth Strother was born at 10:19 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 1. She weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 19 3/4 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing well.

Evie’s parents are Emory and Katie Strother of Alpharetta. Baby Evie is their first child.

It was about an hour after Evie was born when the proud parents realized they were first to deliver on New Year’s Day.

“It was fun; it made a special experience more exciting,” Katie Strother said.

The family went home on Sunday. When asked if they were ready to take their new baby home for the first time, Emory Strother said they were “a little nervous, but we’re excited.”

“Our plans are just to hang out and get to know and love this little one and see what she turns into,” Katie Strother added. “We’re taking it one day at a time and trying not to stress about it.”

About six months ago Emory and Katie, who celebrated their second anniversary Dec. 29, moved from Chicago to Alpharetta where Katie’s family lives.

Mom works for Alpharetta-based Cartiva, Inc., while Dad is a strategy and operations consultant.
