LITTLE Monty Irving arrived right on schedule on New Year’s Day, delighting his mum Zara Stanger and dad Chris Irving.
The arrival of their baby boy was a ‘great’ way to start the new year says Zara, who added: “My due date was New Year’s Day which was nice, I went into labour sporadically as well. I know it doesn’t usually happen that baby comes on its due date so that was a nice surprise.”
Although her labour was ‘intense’ and ‘went from zero to a hundred’ upon their arrival at DGRI, partner Chris was there the whole time and little Monty couldn’t wait to meet his parents being born at 12.07 pm and weighing 7 lbs 1 oz.
After a short stay in the hospital, Monty is now settling in at home in Dunscore.
Proud mummy Zara said: “He’s great, he’s an absolute joy. Our families have all been over to visit him.”
