The first baby of 2015 born at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, was a beautiful baby boy. Matteo Martinez-Almazan was born at 8:07 a.m. Jan. 1, weighing a healthy 8 lbs., 11 oz. and measuring 21 inches.

Parents Petra Martinez-Almazan and Luis Martinez, of Joliet are very pleased to start 2015 with their new bundle of joy. They said they are confident that Oso, their Labrador/Rottweiler mix, will be protective of the baby.

Obstetrician Keith Lim, MD, delivered Matteo, as well as the first little girl of the New Year.

Madeline Jane Kolosh was the first baby girl of 2015, making the staff at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center and her parents wait until the afternoon for the first girl of the New Year and arriving at 1:30 p.m.

Madeline’s parents, Janelle and Michael Kolosh of Plainfield, were delighted with their 7 lb., 5 oz. precious baby. She measured 19.5 inches tall and is the first child for the couple.

Janelle really wanted to deliver her baby at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, where she had been born herself three decades earlier. Madeline will, no doubt, enjoy her nine cousins, becoming only the third girl in the bunch, the family said.
