SINGAPORE - As Singaporeans across the island rang in the nation's 55th birthday on Sunday , a couple were welcoming a new baby into their lives.

But at about 5am on Saturday, Mrs Tan lost her mucus plug, an indication that labour could begin soon. The couple notified the hospital and were advised to go down to prepare for the delivery. Mrs Tan went into labour at about 8pm."It means 'strong battle' in German. It's also the name of a character in the Roald Dahl book and we really like the meaning of that.

The couple said they will be taking the day to rest, and that they will try to tune in to livestreams of the National Day celebrations. Sharing his good wishes for the nation, Mr Tan said:"I hope everyone stays safe and healthy. I think this National Day really shows the SG United spirit, we are all trying to overcome this adversity that hasn't been seen before."
