MINOT—It took all night, but Trinity Health finally welcomed several new babies into the world on the first day of 2022.
The first New Year's baby was Ashley Luna Olson, daughter of Ashley and Bobby Olson of Willow City.
Little Ashley arrived at 7:25 a.m. on New Year's Day weighing 7 pounds, 1 ounce, and measuring 20 inches.
Dr. David Amsbury performed the delivery, which went as planned, despite some snow and icy roads driving to the hospital. It's the Olsons' fourth child and third daughter.
Asked if they had qualms about bringing a new life into the world during a pandemic, mom replied, "Life goes on."
