Amy and Ryan Wallace of Hastings are the parents of Barry County’s New Year’s baby.

The first baby born in the county in 2018, Reid Michael Wallace, 9 pounds, 4 ounces made his debut at 1:33 p.m. January 1 at Spectrum Health Pennock.

Mom says the baby boy is “awesome” and dad is “pretty excited.” Reid is the couple’s second child; he has an older sister Avery, who will be two and a half the last of this month.  

Amy’s due date was Jan. 10.  Reid was born by C-section, so she will be in the hospital at least a few days. The couple both work in Kalamazoo.

Congratulations from WBCH to the new mom and dad.
