Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler and her husband, Daniel Beutler ,welcomed their first child on July 15. While in utero, Abigail Beutler was diagnosed with Potter's syndrome -- a condition associated with a deficiency in amniotic fluid often caused by a baby's prenatal kidney failure.

When Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler gave birth to her first child earlier this month, doctors believe the little girl was likely the first baby to survive a diagnosis previously considered fatal.

Camas residents Herrera Beutler and her husband, Daniel Beutler, on Monday announced that their daughter, Abigail Rose Beutler, was born July 15 at 3:13 a.m., at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Ore.
