Detroit’s first baby of 2026 arrived with confetti, cheers, and a whole lot of love at DMC Hutzel Women’s Hospital. The Reieves family welcomed baby Jakai nine days early, making him the city’s first newborn of the year. The delivery room turned into a mini New Year’s party, with staff donning hats and popping confetti to celebrate. As the youngest of six siblings, Jakai’s birthday will always be a big deal. Moments like this remind us how new beginnings can bring hope and joy to our community. How do you celebrate new arrivals or milestones in your family? #Relationships #Detroit #NewYearsBaby
