Iredell Memorial Hospital welcomed its first baby of the New Year on January 3.
Mother Hannah Boles and father Christopher Boles arrived at Iredell Memorial early Tuesday morning. Just three hours later, the Taylorsville couple welcomed their daughter, Sarah Rebecca Boles, into the world at 8:36 a.m. Both Hannah and her beautiful baby girl are healthy and doing well.

Prior to her delivery, Hannah attended child birth preparation courses through Iredell’s Pampered Pregnancy program.
