IT was a quiet Christmas Day in Worcestershire Royal Hospital's maternity ward with just two new bundles of joy being welcomed into the world.
First-time mum Jan Mason was not expecting William to make an appearance until today but she is over the moon with his extra special arrival.
"I'm very tired," said the proud mum from Comer Road, St John's, Worcester, "but very excited.
"We were planning to have quite a quiet Christmas because we didn't know when he was coming." William was born at 10.41pm and weighed 7lb 5oz.
Little Jamie Holdon was not due until the new year but he made his appearance in the early hours of Christmas morning.
Mum Hayley Holdon, of Meadow Walk, Droitwich, is now looking forward to returning home to sleep and enjoy a delayed Christmas dinner. Jamie Lea was born by Caesarean and weighed 5lbs 2oz.
Twelve babies were born on Christmas day in 2004 and last year there were seven.
