Spirit Lake, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — Having the first baby of 2025 at Lakes Regional Healthcare wasn’t too much of a surprise for Madyson Bergendahl and Dakotah Fisher of Estherville – the c-section for their second child had been scheduled for the second day of the year already.

At 7:03am Thursday, their son Tucker came into the world measuring 21 inches, and weighing 9 pounds 3 ounces. Madyson says Tucker resembles his big brother Beckett.

We’re still waiting on the first child of the new year at other area hospitals.
