It’s a boy!

As people around the world celebrated the New Year, parents Momoko and Sadamori Kojaku celebrated their new bundle of joy.

Their baby boy, Eiji Tyler Kojaku, entered the world at 1:14 am Saturday, Jan. 1, making him the first baby of 2022 in Bloomington and the first New Year’s Baby to be born at the new hospital.

Little Eiji weighs 8 pounds 8 ounces and is 20 inches long!

We all here at IU Health wish the Kojaku family well on their new addition!
