RMC Welcomes Leap Day Baby

A Leap Day baby was born at Regional Medical Center in Manchester last Thursday.

Jamie Ingle and Eric Willenbring of New Vienna welcomed their baby boy, Drew Joseph. Drew was born at 1:49 am on February 29th – making him a Leap Day baby, also called a “Leapling”.

He weighed 7 pounds, 12 oz and measured 20 inches long. Along with his parents, Drew was welcomed home by his big brother, Sealey. 

RMC Midwife Michelle Radloff says it’s very rare that they have babies born on a Leap Day, so it was very exciting to be part of such a special and unique birth.
