First children of the new year, new generation born in Chicago: ‘We’re so excited to get to know her’

Scarlett Carmela Sartori almost shared a birthday with her dad.

Instead, the six-pound, 15-ounce new born was delivered at Illinois Masonic Hospital less than 15 minutes after the New Year began, making her one of the first babies born in Chicago in 2025 and one of the city’s first members of Generation Beta which will make up all babies born between 2025 and 2039.
