Madelynn Rose McCallister, born Jan. 5, was the first baby to be delivered this year at Bartlett Regional Hospital. Her parents, Alexus Forehand and Kevin McCallister, moved to Skagway last fall. Madelynn was welcomed by her three-year-old sister and 2-year-old brother. According to Kevin, Forehand was in labor for 26 hours. “It was hard but we did it,” Kevin said. Madelyn weighed nine pounds and four ounces.
