BIRTH: Amelie was four days late. She chalked up a stint in the special care baby unit as a precaution after being born with the umbilical cord round her neck. Thankfully, there were no complications.

BABY: Amelie is putting on weight and is thriving despite this shaky start.

NAME: Both Lauren and Kevin like the French film Amelie and were inspired by the character played by actress Audrey Tatou - and that’s why they plumped for the name. Isabella was chosen in tribute to Kevin’s mum.

GRANDPARENTS: Lauren’s parents Elizabeth and James live in Balmalloch Road. Kevin’s mum and dad are Isabel and Ian who live in Alves.
