TODAY we feature one baby delivered by her Daddy just minutes before the midwives arrived at the family home and another who was also born at home during the first full day of lockdown and with her proud father and big sister looking on. 
One special rainbow baby has been named in honour of the twin he lost.
Some of our special new arrivals were early, some were on time and some were late, but they’re all absolutely gorgeous. 
Here we bring you another page featuring 12 babies born in Hampshire recently.
New arrivals have been bringing joy to families across the county. Bundles of joy born during lockdown and afterwards have been a wonderful ray of sunshine for families coping with the coronavirus pandemic.
All these darling tots are photographed in the weeks, or sometimes even minutes, following their arrival at Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton, Winchester’s Royal Hampshire County Hospital, at other hospitals and birth centres or at home in Hampshire.
If you have become parents in recent months we would love you to send us a picture of your little one and tell us about the day they were born then we can feature them in our pages and online, offering a lovely future keepsake for your tiny one to treasure.
