A couple have left people in tears after sharing an adorable video of an extremely special moment for the pair.
Danny Wallace and Natalie Abdullah, from West Derby in Liverpool, welcomed their first baby together, a girl named Nola Rose, into the world on April 29.
Natalie was in labour for a few days at the Liverpool Women's Hospital before doctors decided she needed an emergency caesarean section, as she was still not fully dilated.

After a very difficult labour, the proud parents were "over the moon" to welcome their new addition - but Danny had another surprise in store to make this moment even more special.
Midwives helped the 33-year-old pop an all important question, with the help of his young daughter.
A video shared with the Liverpool Echo showed Natalie left speechless as her partner of two years proposed, just moments after the birth, as she laid eyes on her newborn child for the first time.
Dressed in her first outfit, a baby grow that read "Mummy will you marry Daddy?", Nola started off the proposal as midwives held her up, before Danny got down on one knee at the top of the operating table.
Danny had been planning the surprise for several weeks, as he just knew he wanted to propose after Natalie had given birth.
He told the midwife what he wanted to do, and the staff all banded together to help him out as the nerves started to creep in.
Speaking to the Echo, Danny said: "I don't know where the idea came from, I just knew I wanted to do it.
"I was putting her off by saying there's no chance of us getting married and she was just in shock.
"It was the first time she saw the baby as well."
The couple, who have children from previous relationships, have yet to set a date for the wedding, but plan to tie the knot in Greece.
But Danny said things are uncertain at the moment with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Messages of support have been flocking in for the happy couple, with people quick to offer their congratulations.
After the adorable video was shared on the Echo's Facebook page, comments flooded in from readers.
Sarah Stafford said: "Well I've just cried. My fella's binned."
Norma Rooney said: "OMG I'm sobbing, congratulations."
Danielle Leatherbarrow said: "This has made me bawl crying! How amazing, congratulations to you both."
Now seven months old, Nola Rose has settled into her loving family as Danny thanked everyone for their well wishers.
Adele Callaghan said: "This wins the internet today. Congratulations."
Suzanne Highcock said: "This has just brought tears to my eyes, how lovely. Congratulations to you both."
