A Christmas day bundle of joy was delivered to proud mum Audrey Hines.
Chloe Amelia tipped the scales at 9lb 13oz and made her appearance at 6.10pm at Burnley General Hospital's Edith Watson Maternity Unit.
She was expected on December 20 but Audrey said: "She hung on so everybody could take the mickey out of me for having a Christmas Day baby and it being a 'money saving idea' like the McDonald's adverts!"
Chloe is the first baby for David and Audrey and should be back home at Chapel Mews, Earby, within the week.
Audrey is no stranger to hospitals working as a staff nurse at Gisburne Park Hospital, Gisburn, while David is a systems analyst with Country Holidays, Earby.
Audrey said she expected Chloe to make an appearance in early December but said of her Christmas present: "I am really suited."
Boy and girl twins and another baby boy were also delivered to mums at Burnley General.
