“Contractions started during our Christmas dinner and we when we arrived at St Mary’s at 5.30pm, it wasn’t long before we met our wonderful baby boy, who came before his due date.
“We’ll be heading home today where the Christmas food and Christmas telly we missed awaits, along with continuing our family get-togethers.
