Happy Friday, people of Des Moines! Let's get you all caught up to start today off on an informed note. First, today's weather: Partly sunny and cold. High: 25 Low: 11. Here are the top three stories today in Des Moines: The parents of a newborn child are suing a Des Moines hospital and a stranger who apparently fed and changed the child. Police say the stranger, Adam Wedig, got into the neonatal intensive care unit at MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center through a secure door on Dec. 27, changed and fed the child, then left. The criminal complaint states Wedig made "inappropriate comments" and asked nurses "inappropriate questions" about the newborn's care.
