Sharon Melbourne with newborn baby Tashauna

New year, new babies! Parents welcome their early 2009 arrivals as hospitals have a busy start

SHE wasn’t due for another three weeks – but Sharon Melbourne’s baby girl couldn’t wait to see in the New Year.
The baby, named Tashauna, was born at the Whittington Hospital in Highgate in the early hours of 2009.
She weighed in at 7lb 3oz at 3.38am, and was one of four New Year’s Day babies born at the hospital.
Sharon, 32, said her baby hadn’t been due until January 26.
Another girl was born just before 7am to proud Holloway mum Emily Record, of Berriman Road.
Emily, 21, works as staff supervisor for a care agency and as a health care assistant. Baby Cheyenne, weighing 8lb, is her second child, a sister for three-year-old Rebecca. Meanwhile, over at University College Hospital in Euston, one mother was attempting to deliver a baby that was in no hurry to be born.
Baby Oluwaremi, already known as “Remi” to his parents, waited a whole 12 days before making an appearance – he was due on December 19.
His parents, Augusta Ahazie-Shittu and Toba Shittu (pictured with Remi on page 1) said they were delighted with his New Year birthday.
Remi was one of six babies born on January 1 at UCLH’s new labour ward, opened along with the Bloomsbury Birth Centre on November 4.
