Hide AdJodie, from Leyland, added: “It was after midnight that I thought this is it. I kept jumping from the fireworks and I think it may have been what made him come when he did!”
And little Aaron-Lee was born on his exact due date, something that delighted dad David, 25, from Ribbleton, who said: “This is the best New Year’s Day ever.”
As well as the first newborn to be welcomed into Preston this year, the Post took a glimpse at the last little ones of 2017.
