5. Edward
Tara Brown, said: "Edward born 29/04/2020 one month into lockdown! No cuddles from grandparents, no baby groups until november- then they were cancelled again. When he was 5 weeks his dad was rushed to hospital with appendicitis... as you can see he’s took it all in his stride and is now a happy, and very chilled 9 month old!" Photo: Tara Brown
6. Harper Florence Kay
Linsey Marie Kay, said: "Harper Florence Kay born 08/07/2020. Born in between lockdown 1 and 2. Harper was our rainbow baby after two losses after we had our first child Fraser in 2015. There was a lot of anxiety surrounding my pregnancy with Harper anyway so when the pandemic struck when I was around 20 weeks pregnant it was tough. It’s been an emotional journey having a rainbow baby during a pandemic. Juggling a baby and homeschooling without family and friends around has been hard. Maternity leave hasn’t been what I’d hoped but she’s here, we’re all safe and Harper is the most amazing little girl! I’m grateful for 2020 because it gave our family our beautiful little girl."

Abbie Carter, said: "Our little girl Penelope-Rae born via emergency c-section on 13th June her great grandads 80th birthday, he says it’s the best birthday present he’s ever received. We spent almost a week alone in hospital with a infection. Daddy was off for 3 months due to the pandemic... the day we come home, he went back to work. But we love our family, every day is a miracle to say we got told we wouldn’t be able to naturally have our own." Photo: Abbie Carter

Charlie Whitehead, said: "These two beautiful girls (Ivy-Rose & Layla-Rae) was born 22nd June, wasn’t the best start to their lives, it’s been a tough one with 3 under two. But we’ve got this." Photo: Charlie Whitehead
