Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital welcomes palindrome ‘Twosday’ baby

HUNTLEY – February may be the shortest month of the year, but the 2022 year made this month a little bit more special than just having Valentine’s Day to celebrate.

For those unaware, Feb. 21-28 of this year (2022) are considered palindrome dates.

The definition of a palindrome according to the Farmer’s Almanac, is a word, phrase, or numerical sequence that reads the same from left-to-right or right-to-left.

Palindromes can include words such as mom, dad, and civic to name a few examples.

As for what made this past “twosday,” Feb. 22 so special locally, Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital has recently announced the arrival of its own palindrome baby.

The hospital shared the news that baby “Braxton” was born on Feb. 22, 2022, at 10:15 a.m. to mother Krystal Villarreal.

The healthy baby boy weighed eight pounds and four ounces and measured at 18.75 inches.
