Mum of 4 boys who always wanted girls spends £3100 on lifelike female dolls which she treats as her children

39 year old Leah Perry who always wanted daughters but ended having four boys spent around £3100 on five lifelike female dolls, which have realistic fingernails and hair. She also spends a fortune on clothes, toys and accessories on the dolls and calls them her daughters.

 Leah, 39, has been married to husband Chris for 13 years and has four sons – Christian, 13, Caden, 12, Cameron, 11, Caleb, 9. She said:

"I've had a maternal instinct from a very young age and I really wanted to replace some childhood dolls that I had lost over the years. I went online and started searching for baby dolls and came across these reborn dolls that looked real.

Although she said it was a "surreal experience" unpacking a box with a realistic looking baby inside, she was instantly hooked.

Two months later, she bought another doll, she now has five, who she has named Scarlette Winter, Emberleigh Elise, Harlow Annalise, Linleigh Michelle and Ava. 

The dolls come as plain body parts and Leah paints their faces. She said:

"I get to use the girls' names I would have had for my own daughters, and buy all the sweet clothes and bows for their hair. They fill in that missing part in my heart. I would love to have daughters, but I didn't - so now I have reborns.

"It's a very fulfilling thing because I can dress them in the way that I want. They are the daughters I never had."

Leah buys her doll daughters adorable tutus and dresses and also gathers hand-me-down garments from other reborn mums, who she meets on Instagram. She now paints dolls to sell to other women for £556 ($800).

She spends up to two-and-a-half weeks painting the skin and threading each individual mohair hair onto the babies' small heads.

"I really enjoy being able to give somebody else that joy of opening up that box with a baby inside," she said.

"It has a lot of meaning for them for whatever reason. They find it very comforting to have that outlet. I don't find my babies comforting, but I do think they are fun.

"I just made a baby with Down's Syndrome, which I thought was adorable. The woman who ordered the doll said she had a miscarriage where she believed the baby had the condition

However, though the reborn community is a tight-knit one, not everyone is a fan of Leah's hobby - and even her family are divided. While two of her boys adore the dolls and even take part in dressing them and holding them, her other two find them unnerving.  

She said:

  "My husband thinks they're a great hobby for me because he knows I love painting them and creating them for customers, and he knows it's a bit of me time. But he won't pick them up – he associates dolls with girls and he's a bit of a guy’s guy. I do get a lot of people who tell me that I'm crazy and that they're not real children. They don't understand that it's just role-play.

Oh No, They Didn't

Hope this is not a school textbook

first successful birth of a baby conceived from frozen egg in Nigeria

Nigeria's Medical Sector has reportedly recorded the first successful birth of a baby conceived from frozen egg of a 44-year-old woman, who had suffered infertility for eight years, making it the first in the country and West Africa.

According to Vanguard, the birth and conception of the baby, named Tiwatope, which is the 5001st in the world, was carried out by Nigerian fertility specialists at The Bridge Clinic in Lagos where the mother had her eggs frozen using the vitrification (flash-freezing) process.

Announcing the medical milestone, a fertility physician at the hospital, Dr Emmanuel Owie, said the birth of the baby on February 16th this year, has puts Nigeria on the global map as regards the practice of oocyte (egg) freezing or cryopreservation, a new offering in the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) space.

“Tiwatope’s mother had her eggs frozen for two months, using the vitrification, also known as flash-freezing, process. This is the cutting edge technology in cryobiology, where the eggs or oocytes of a woman is dehydrated and the water content is replaced with ‘anti-freeze’ solution (cryoprotectants) before freezing. This will prevent the formation of ice crystals which could destroy the cell. We fertilized the eggs using a standard technique known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to overcome the egg shell which normally gets hardened with freezing. The fertilized egg was subsequently transferred into her womb, resulting in the pregnancy with Tiwa. She had her antenatal care in her family hospital and delivered the baby boy through Caesarian Section. “he said

Dr Owie said egg freezing was particularly recommended for women diagnosed with cancer, who may lose their fertility during chemotherapy; women with a family history of early menopause; women with objections to storing frozen embryos for religious and/or moral reasons; and women who want to delay child-bearing in order to pursue some personal goals.

This Adorable Boy Decided To Take A Nap Right In The Middle Of His Baby Race

First of all, yes, baby racing is apparently a thing.
To celebrate family day last night, the Sacramento Kings took a brief break from basketball to bring some slightly smaller athletes to the court.

Parents of “the fastest crawlers in Sacramento” lined up their babies and encouraged them to shuffle their little, tiny legs as fast as they could toward the finish line.
Some babies just immediately started crying, which is honestly probably what I would do with all those people staring at me. Some just took a seat and didn’t move at all. But two babies, Landon and Gemma, really took off.

It was looking like a tight race — anyone’s game, really. Landon took a slight lead until he realized something very important: Napping is way better than racing!

Gideon Yobo & Wife, Blessing, Share on Son’s Miracle Birth

Gideon Yobo, the younger brother of footballer, Joseph Yobo, and his wife, Blessing, who got married in June, 2015 in Liverpool, share on their first child, Caleb’s miracle birth.
Blessing, 23, had been diagnosed of Lupus, an incurable illness affecting the immune system and was advised not to get pregnant as it might endanger her health.
Despite warning, she got pregnant and when her pregnancy was 10 weeks old, she was admitted to the hospital.
She was advised by her doctor in the UK to get rid of the pregnancy as the baby would not survive beyond 14 weeks.

”The doctors suggested we should think of stopping the pregnancy, but we both decided beforehand that whatever happens, whatever the risks, we would carry on. We just knew it would not end up in disaster and put our trust in God. Everyone was shocked when she got to 20 weeks, and then we just carried on,” Gideon revealed in an interview with Telegraph & Argus.

Doctors at the BRI monitored Blessing very closely throughout her pregnancy, and despite periods where they admitted she had been ”very ill”, she was successfully induced at 37 weeks.
Gideon added,

”When Caleb was born, everything was just perfect. They did tests on him, some of them, three or four times, and the doctors couldn`t believe he had come out fine. Some people would have given up, but we were determined not to. We held on to our faith and beliefs and followed our gut instinct. She is doing fine, and Caleb is just fantastic. We registered him the other day and the medical records are flawless, everything is Ok. I always knew he would be a Miracle baby, and that`s what the doctors said he was. They said they could not believe our determination and belief, but Caleb just shows that miracles do happen.”

The Projects manager at the Essex-based charity, an NGO dedicated to the research of Lupus said,

”The risks for complications during the pregnancy, such as a miscarriage, are real. If the Lupus is active, there is an increased chance of a flare-up during pregnancy, which can lead to foetal loss and the mother risking her own health. We would advise people not to get pregnant until their Lupus is under control.
We would not advise high-risk pregnancies with active Lupus, as having a healthy mum and baby is definitely against the odds, especially for someone with kidney problems. But stories like this do happen, and they are wonderful to hear.”

Gideon revealed his wife is now making a full recovery at home.
