Baby of the week: Falkirk tot Nova Russell
Nova Reagan Russell was born on May 4,2026 at Forth Valley Royal Hospital at 3.42pm, weighing 5lb 11oz.
Mum Chloe Myles, 30, is a customer service advisor, while dad Ryan Russell, 30, is an administrator. The family live in Falkirk.


Mum said her pregnancy was full of sickness and hospital trips but was “so worth it now”.
When it came to the birth, mum was induced ten days early as baby was small. Her waters broke naturally at 2am and she gave birth at 3.42pm that day after only pushing for three minutes. Mum said she would do it all again if she could, saying it was the “best experience of my life”.
Mum and dad chose the name Nova as out of all the names they liked it was their top name.
Nova is so content and bubbly. She’s always laughing and smiling and will let anyone and everyone hold her.
Nova’s proud grandparents are Angela and Scott Myles, Nikki Russell and John Rollo.
Mum and dad would like to say thank you to all of their support system for their help with their first baby. Mum said Nova is a dream baby and is so well praised from everyone including health care providers.
