Once again we celebrate the good news of our readers and introduce eight New Arrivals.
The birthing team at Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester has been extremely busy with every one of these cuties born there!
Scroll down to read some heart-warming stories of new babies arriving in the world born to parents in Weymouth and Dorchester and further afield.
Dayana-Jaylene Tia Hargreaves, born July 3 at DCH weighing 6lb 2oz to Vicky Roberts and CJ Hargreaves of Weymouth. Little sister for Kayne, Tristan, Elise and Renessmee.
Vicky tells us: "I was induced 3 weeks early as I'm diabetic and the hospital thought baby was going to be 7lb plus.. but Dayana-Jaylene turned out alot smaller. My labour was long but all the staff were fantastic had her on the 3rd July as 12:26pm came out on the 4th and went back in on the 6th as she had really bad jaundice and was really poorly, we had to stay in for 3 days and monitor her on the lights and lucky that worked.. she's doing really well now and it's good to be home with all her brothers and sisters."
