Say a big hello to these three adorable new arrivals!
Every Monday on our New Arrivals page, we give them a big welcome to the world. If you've recently had a baby and would like to share your news with us, go to and fill in our easy-to-use Q&A.
Elsie Valerie Ann Power (Image: Danielle Morgan) Elsie Valerie Ann Power was born on June 19, 2025, at The Grange University Hospital weighing 6lbs.
She joins parents Danielle Morgan and Tyrone Power and seven-year-old brother Theo at home in Ebbw Vale.
Ms Morgan said that Elsie is lucky to be here. Ms Morgan was booked in for a C-section for June 19, 2025, although her due date was July 2, as there had been complications with her first child.
After Elsie was born, surgeons discovered Ms Morgan has been suffering with vasa praevia and velamentous cord insertion which had been unnoticed throughout the pregnancy despite having complications. She said: "This meant that if my waters had broken and it had been a natural birth, it would have been catastrophic for Elsie and potentially myself.
"Elsie is so lucky to be here. She should have been delivered around 34/35 weeks if it had been picked up earlier."
She added that Elsie was born 'perfect and absolutely beautiful,' and is doing 'incredibly well,' thanking the staff at the hospital.
Dayton Luke Bourne (Image: Aimee Jo Thompson) Dayton Luke Bourne was born on June 18, 2025, at The Grange University Hospital weighing 5lb 8oz.
He joins parents Aimee Thompson and Keiron Bourne and older sister Darcie Leigh Bourne (16) at home in Newport.
It seemed that Dayton wasn't in too much of a hurry to enter the world.
Ms Thompson said: "After a long three days of them trying to induce me, on the fourth day they broke my waters, then our bundle of joy came into the world at 10.30am."
Layla Rose Powell (Image: Amy Powell) Layla Rose Powell was born on March 31, 2025, at The Grange University Hospital, weighing 7lb 1oz.
She joins parents Amy Powell, Jake Tinklin and siblings Oscar aged six, an 18-month-old Lucas at home in Risca.
