An Ipswich family are celebrating the arrival of a baby who is the fifth generation of their family – and the first boy.

Ezra Andrews was very eager to become the latest addition to the family – as he arrived two weeks early, and didn’t want to wait to get to hospital.

His mum Sharni Andrews described the birth as smooth but fast, and said: “We barely had time to get to the hospital, I thought I was going to give birth at home.

“The birth went really smooth and went well but only took four hours because he was in such a hurry.”

Little Ezra was born at Ipswich Hospital on September 2, and weighed 6lbs.

The family tree began in 1937 when Ezra’s great-great grandmother May Mason was born.

She then gave birth to great-grandmother Sharon James in 1959, grandmother Kizzi Blomfield was born in 1978, and mother Sharni Andrews arrived in 1995.

The 22-year-old describes motherhood as scary but lovely.

She added: “It’s great being a mum, but it is sometimes scary.

“As it is my first time of being a mum, everything feels like it’s something to worry about, but it is lovely to have something to look after and care for.

“Jon is loving being a dad and he was great through the birth, during the pregnancy he said he would never change a nappy but now he does them all.”

Grandmother Kizzi Blomfield is thrilled to have little Ezra in the family.

She said: “I am completely over the moon I am constantly all over him, it is nice to be a younger nan and a younger family.

“I feel like I can be more active and play with him.”
