Born to Markie Kile and Aaron Meyer of Albany, the baby girl measured 20 inches long and weighed 9 pounds, 1.4 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though her due date was Christmas Eve, Charlii chose New Year&#8217;s Day for her arrival. Her mother Markie, who works in the Environmental Services department at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, praised the staff&#8217;s support during delivery. &#8220;The staff was really nice, they were encouraging and supportive throughout the birthing process,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After resting, the couple shared the news with Charlii&#8217;s siblings. The blended family includes Myrah, 11, Josiah, 9, Isabella, 7, and Oliver, 5, who are all excited to meet their new sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The baby&#8217;s unique name was inspired by &#8220;Charlie the Unicorn,&#8221; a YouTube short film both parents had watched years ago. &#8220;We were trying to think of a nickname because we had been calling her &#8216;Dyno nugget,'&#8221; Markie explained. &#8220;We thought Charlii would be a cute nickname and it ended up staying.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate their first baby of 2025, Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center presented the family with a gift basket containing stuffed animals, a baby blanket, sparkling cider, wine glasses, chocolate, a baby book, onesies, a stocking, slippers and a birthstone keepsake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron works at the Lowe\u2019s Distribution Center in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<aside>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kile-Meyer-Baby-2024-CO.jpg\" class=\"attachment-cta size-cta wp-post-image\" alt=\"Woman, man and newborn in hospital bed.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kile-Meyer-Baby-2024-CO.jpg 360w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kile-Meyer-Baby-2024-CO-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kile-Meyer-Baby-2024-CO-120x100.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><figcaption>Parents Markie Kile and Aaron Meyer hold Charlii Kile-Meyer who was born 17 minutes after midnight, Jan. 1.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t<\/aside>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center welcomed its first baby of 2025 when Charlii Kile-Meyer was born at 12:17 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 1.
