Parents Dan and Christina were over the moon to meet their baby girl, Isla. But no one was more excited than two-year-old Louis, Isla's loud and proud big brother. 💕 Isla was born at RBWH on 11 May, 10.54 pm weighing 7.1 lbs.
"Today's the first time Louis has seen her, but he's been walking around the house saying 'baby Isla!' for a few days now," Dan said.
"It was a really quick birth, three hours from the couch at home to holding Isla. We're hoping we get to go home tonight!" Christina said.
We're sending lots of love to this beautiful family of four this #FeelgoodFriday! 🏡✨
Great family photo...exciting times ahead, congratulations.
Congratulations Christina and Dan, she’s beautiful 💐🥰
Gorgeous 🥰
Congratulations
Yay congratulations

#RBWH Senior House Officer Joshua Sia is thrilled and relieved to know his brother, Aaron, is one step closer to an added layer of protection against COVID-19. After more than a year of working on the frontline including in fever clinics and infectious diseases wards, it's comforting for Josh and his family to know they are one step closer to relaxing social distancing in their home. 🏡💉☺️
“This gives us all some more peace of mind at home and while it doesn’t mean we can be careless, it does make everyone feel more comfortable," Josh said.
“Aaron is a dentist and is very excited to now be partially covered with Pfizer – as soon as I saw the email saying our family members or household contacts were eligible under 1b, I sent it to him as I knew he would be very keen."
Very nice Dr Joshua absolute health care hero
I’m class 1a/1b and have been invited to get a vaccine. However on trying to book Pfizer ( age 47) I’ve been told by the appointment booking staff to get a letter from my GP as to why I need this vaccine??!!
