Sue Radford announced the happy news via her blog - although she admitted that her baby daughter’s birth hadn’t been plain sailing.
She explained: “On Tuesday evening I decided to go the hospital just to get a check up as she hadn’t been moving the same as she usually did at that time of the day.
“I thought they would just put me on a monitor for half an hour and then be sent home but that was not to be even after a good trace they decided to induce me due to reduced movements.
“I was so relieved as I’ve been so anxious this last few weeks and particularly that day.”
Just in case you missed it earlier Look who's arrived http://www.theradfordfamily.co.uk/arrived/ > >

And, thankfully, her eighteenth child was delivered safely.
An excited Sue added: “We are so thrilled to announce the safe arrival of our beautiful precious baby girl Hallie Alphia Beau Radford.
“Born on the 3rd June 2015 weighing 7lb 15oz.”
The name Hallie, for those wondering, means ‘dweller at the meadow by the manor’ - and is, we think, a super-sweet moniker for the Radford family’s newest member.
Mother and baby are both home and settling down with the rest of the clan.
Congratulations to Sue Radford and her entire family!
REMEMBER: If you are concerned about your baby’s movements, do speak to your midwife or doctor.
