The couple initially had a prospective due date of Boxing Day in mind. 

But Sidney was born at exactly 8am on Christmas Day and weighed 8lb 6oz.

Miss Woodruffe said: "Our baby boy was born on Christmas Day at dead on 8am and we named him Sidney Wooldridge he weighed 8lb 6oz after a long three and a half day labour."

Miss Woodruffe said: "It was all a bit mad, it was a long labour, so we thought he would be born on Christmas Eve, but he hung on until Christmas Day. 

"However, we are back in the hospital because he has jaundice and he is having phototherapy.

"They are checking for blood, we could be here for a day or two to three days. 

"But my due date was actually Boxing Day, but we're happy with the newest addition to our family."
