A Washougal couple on Tuesday welcomed the first baby born in a Clark County hospital in 2013.
Jacob Tyler Schindler entered the world at 5:25 a.m. at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver. The boy weighed 8 pounds, 10 ounces, and measured 21.5 inches long.
It was the third child for Washougal residents Sherry Ingram and Jeffery Schindler, but their first son. The couple also have two daughters, 8-year-old Mikayla and 6-year-old Lillian, Ingram said.
Ingram said she wasn’t anticipating a New Year’s Day delivery. Her due date wasn’t until Jan. 11. Jacob, however, had other plans.
