‘Lilly’ leads parade of Indy babies born on first day of 2018

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The city’s first baby of 2018 arrived just minutes after the clock struck midnight Sunday at Community Health Hospital North on the northeast side.

Lillian Fay was named after a maternal great-grandmother. Her parents, Jon and Amber Poppino, said she was born at 12:26 a.m. after Amber began pushing around 11:45 p.m.

Lillian’s due date was Dec. 31, but, once New Year’s Day arrived, mom and dad said baby “Lilly” should, too.
