BRODHEAD - Green County's first baby of 2009 remains in a Madison hospital but is expected to come home by the end of the month.

"She still has trouble breathing sometimes and her heart rate drops (at times)," Schaitel said.
The baby now weighs 4 pounds and 11 ounces. She weighed 3 pounds, 5 ounces when she was born.
