ATLANTA — The first babies of the 2020s are here!
At 12:44 a.m. on January 1, 2020, at WellStar Kennestone Hospital, Bryan Robins and Amanda Wall from Kennesaw welcomed Luke into the world.
Luke is the first WellStar Health System baby of the new decade, hospital officials said. He weighed in at 6 pounds, 15.2 ounces.
Luke and his family will receive literacy packets and baby books as part of the hospital’s new “Legacy of Love and Learning” community initiative developed in partnership with the Rotary Clubs of Marietta, Smyrna and Atlanta-Brasil, the hospital said in a statement.
About an hour later, at 1:55 a.m., Mattie and Christopher James said hello to Christian Melokhule James at Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center. He weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces.

We'll continue to add photos from various hospitals as we receive them, so bookmark this page and check back to see more of the first babies of the decade (and yes, we are aware that some say the new decade doesn't "officially" begin until 2021, but we are considering these the first of the 2020s).
