SSM Health St. Clare Hospital - Baraboo has welcomed its first baby of 2026!

Jett Franklin Ward was born at 2:45 pm on January 5, 2026, weighing 9 pounds, 1 ounce and measuring 21 ¼ inches long. His proud parents are Taylor and Justin Ward of Wisconsin Dells. Jett is joined by his older brothers, Jaxson and Jordan.

When asked how they felt about having the first baby of the year, Taylor shares, “I was pretty surprised.” Justin adds with a laugh, “Shocked, since it was already January 5th!” The couple said the honor was completely unexpected.

Reflecting on their experience, Taylor notes, “All of the staff has been wonderful. It was really special that Janarl, a certified registered nurse, was part of all three of our birth experiences. We were so happy she could be there for Jett’s birth.”

As for their hopes for the new year, the Wards say, “We just want him to be happy and healthy, and for all the boys to get along as they grow up.”

Starting the year with such a big life change feels right for the family: “Good - we’re ready,” Justin says. With their seasonal business busiest in spring, summer, and early fall, the timing couldn’t have been better.

SSM Health St. Clare Hospital congratulates the Ward family and wishes them joy and health in the year ahead. https://www.ssmhealth.com/locations/wisconsin/st-clare-hospital-baraboo/labor-delivery-at-st-clare-hospital-baraboo
