On New Year’s Eve, Tera and Gordon Cliame thought they may be parents to the first baby of the new year.
“We were here on Dec. 31 with false labor,” Tera explained.
They were sent home to Lovell, and the contractions went away.
Eleven days later, the Cliames were back at Powell Valley Hospital. This time, the baby was on his way for sure — and he still managed to claim the title of first baby of 2018 in Powell.
Krysler Shad Gordon Cliame arrived at 11 p.m. Thursday.
“At 11 on the 11th,” Tera said.
Krysler weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces and measured 18.25 inches long.
His family described him as a quiet, content baby.
“He’s been great,” Gordon said.
Krysler joins three siblings: Kajyn, 8, Paizley, 4, and Remmey, 3.
They were excited to meet their baby brother and hold him.
“He’s snuggly,” Kajyn said.
They also were excited about his fame as the first baby of the new year.
“You came on a special day, buddy,” Tera said as she held Krysler.
Gordon and Tera said they appreciated midwife Sharae Bischoff, their nurses and the other staff at Powell Valley Healthcare.
“Everyone was great,” Gordon said. “They were invested in what was going on.”
Tera started having contractions on Thursday afternoon, but didn’t really start hurting until later that evening. They waited at home for a while, not wanting to have another false alarm.
“We got here at 10 [p.m.], and he was born at 11,” Tera said.
“They got here just in time,” said Nancy Beason, Tera’s mom.
Beason, who lives in Worland, stayed in Lovell with the three older children as they anxiously awaited their baby brother’s birth.
“We stayed up until midnight,” Kajyn said.
Grandma received a text message, with a picture of the new baby.
On Friday afternoon, older sister Paizley proudly held Krysler as the family posed for photos. Looking at 3-year-old Remmey, she said, “We’re going to be good big sisters.”
