Machias – Down East Community Hospital’s first baby of 2026 has arrived!
Lucas Farley, the second child of Stephanie Farley of East Machias was born at 5:52pm on January 8. He was 19 ½” long and weighed in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces. He is a handsome, healthy boy with a loving family, especially mom and his brother Liam. Liam said he was 7 when his mother told him she was going to have a baby and he was very excited about it. He is now 8 and you can be rest assured he will be one of the best big brothers ever!
Nurse Midwife, Donna Waterman, CNM was Stephanie’s provider and Melissa Allen, RN was in attendance throughout the labor and delivery. “I am very happy with the care I received from Donna, (Liam really liked her too) and Melissa was great and very attentive.”
The New Year’s baby basket provided by the hospital was filled with items for the baby and gift cards for the family. Most of the items were purchased from the DECH Auxiliary Gift shop and several were donated by the Auxiliary.
Join us in congratulating Stephanie on the birth of her son!
