First local baby of 2026 recovering well at home

Waylon William Dillard entered the world on Friday, Jan. 2, earning him the title of Union General Hospital’s 2026 New Year Baby. Though he had a difficult start to life, little Waylon is now home safe, and his parents are hopeful for a bright future for their little fighter.

Alexus Godbold – soon to be Alexus Dillard when she changes her name to reflect her marriage to Quaid Dillard – admitted that her pregnancy was difficult. She was sick often, and was ready to meet her son Waylon when her labor was induced at 40 weeks.
