A New Year started full of hope and expectation for one mother with the birth of her baby girl.
Little Tashauna Melbourne was one of Haringey's first babies to be born in 2009 at the Whittington Hospital.
Tashauna, who weighed 7lb 30z when she was born at 3.38am on New Year's Day, was greeted by her older sister, eight-year-old Tanesha.
For mother Sharon Melbourne, 32, from West Green Road in Tottenham, this is her fourth child and second daughter.
She said: "I did know what to expect but I forgot what the pain was like. I've now got two boys and two girls and I'm glad, really happy for it."
