A local hospital rang in the New Year with the birth of the first baby in 2025 this week.
On Wednesday, AdventHealth Ocala announced the birth of the first baby of the New Year, Holly, within its hospital system.
“We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our first baby of 2025. Baby Holly made her debut at 7:52 a.m., weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces, and measuring 20.5 inches long,” reads a statement issued by the hospital.
The statement goes on to say that Holly and her family are doing well and celebrating the joyous occasion.
Last year, the first baby of 2024 didn’t wait as long to make her grand entrance into this world.
That baby, Elianyz Jameelah Gonzalez Serrano, was born just over 30 minutes after the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2024.
