A GOVAN family received the best Christmas Day present as they welcomed their baby boy. Baby Harry Robertson was born in ward 47 of the maternity unit at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital today.
First-time mum Nicole Flannigan, 20, and dad Harry Robertson, 18 welcomed their 8lb 9oz bundle of joy at 5.15 am.
Nicole, who went into hospital at 11 pm on Christmas Eve to deliver the cute tot, said: "It was a hard delivery but we got there in the end."
She added: "Thanks to all the hospital staff who helped me with the delivery.
Baby Harry is named after his proud dad who said: "I am very excited and happy to be a new dad.
"I never expected him to be born at Christmas, it just happened.
"It is definitely the greatest Christmas present I have had."
Baby Harry will stay in the hospital for 24 hours before he gets to go home and celebrate Christmas with his new family who put their festive dinner on hold.
Staff at the hospital also helped couple Samantha and Craig McCulloch, of Eaglesham, meet their little boy at 5.22 am.
The family is taking some time to decide his name and he weighed 6lbs 9oz.
