We are delighted to welcome Gabriel Peter Kelvin Hames to the world. He arrived, happy and healthy, at 5:53am on Friday, weighing 7lb. Gabriel has two overjoyed parents and one very excited big brother.
Later she had some thanks:
Massive thanks to the fantastic team of midwives who looked after me during pregnancy, birth and beyond – and thanks also to the wise words of Ina May Gaskin and relaxation techniques of Maggie Howell. @InaGaskin @MaggieHowell pic.twitter.com/GjxQlMrqV0

Huge appreciation goes to whoever invented the Tens machine – as it turned out absolutely indispensable – and to Camila Cabello for the hip-moving, chilled out sounds of Havana. @babycaretens pic.twitter.com/bdMZKKbU0P

Congratulations Jo and Duncan.
Huge congratulations to Jo and Duncan! How many years will it be before they explain to Gabriel that he walked through a parliamentary lobby with his mum just before he was born?! I bet Andrew can’t wait to play with his new brother. A lovely story to start Monday morning.
