PROUD mum Katie Haskins is claiming a first for Didcot’s new Great Western Park estate – her baby son George.
Katie, 24, lives on the estate with husband Paul Haskins, 26, a window fitter, two-year-old daughter Holly, and son George.
He weighed in at a healthy 8lb 8oz after being born at their home in Heron Lane, a two-bedroom house rented from Sovereign Vale housing association, last month. Mrs Haskins said: “I’m pretty sure that George is the first baby born at Great Western Park.
“Home births are quite unusual so he must be the first home birth on the estate. We were delighted that we could have our baby at home.”
Before moving to Great Western Park in November, the Haskins lived on the Ladygrove estate.
