Jackie O: Meet our beautiful daughter!

Gently kissing her tiny baby girl, radio star Jackie O radiates love and quiet contentment.

‘This is what I was meant to do,’ she smiles cuddling up to husband Lee Henderson and their gorgeous new IVF daughter.

‘When I became a mother, it felt like everything fell into place. I have absolutely adored every single day, and I can’t tell you how much it has changed me as well. I have never been calm and comfortable.’

But things were a great deal less serene when pint-sized Catalina Mae Henderson – or Kitty – for short arrived by express delivery on December 10 three-and-a-half weeks early.

‘We almost didn’t get there in time,’ laughs Jackie, 35, of the early birth. "I'd been told to expect a caesarean, so I wasn't prepared."

The precious bundle made her all-natural entrance at Sydney’s Mater Hospital, tipping the scales at a ‘whopping’ 2.35kg.
