The end of 2005 has been a very busy year for my family as they took over the entire maternity ward in a small town in Lancashire...

It all started on christmas eve when my cousins wife was taken to hospital to have her baby girl delivered early by caserean section - the baby is doing well but she is in intensive care until she gains more weight and her lungs are fully developed - please remember her in your duas...

On christmas day another cousin of mine had her 8lb baby boy (mashallah) also delivered by caserean who has already been named 'Awais' and Im told is gorgeous...

Two days later a third cousin gave birth to a 6lb girl - a baby sister for 5 older brothers who are already 'taking care' of her like big brothers should...

This is the shocking bit... the mothers are all under 30!
Yes even the one who has had her sixth child!
