Welcome to the world, Stella! Your mother has put out a request for lullabies but after having racked my brain for two weeks, I couldn't come up with anything, and though I do plan to ask my own mum, she is on an RV trip right now. However, a little searching yielded this, something that I know both of your parents will dig:
Languages from the Cradle is a European Union funded project to collect the lullabies of Europe. Learn more in this mp3 from United Nations Radio (did you know there was such a thing? neither did I) including a lovely Sudanese lullaby, and don't miss the Languages from the Cradle wiki.
I also offer two lullabies from my favorite British songstress, Kate Rusby. The first is a real lullaby and the second and third are two versions (second one is live and I love how the audience embraces it ...I even see some young heads nodding off) of a traditional song that works well as one:

Stunning, I love 'em both! She is beautiful and has the voice of a angel.
I highly recommend you go to your iTunes and download some Hem. They do several lullabies (where I learned them for my own kiddies!), but their music is beautiful and calm. My daughter would always relax and sleep when we played it. I particularly like the disc Rabbit Songs. I will refund your money if you do not like it!
Thanks, will check it out. Kate Rusby's best album is Awkward Annie (download that first) and the others are brilliant too.

Fantastic! Thanks for the videos. She does have a voice of an angel as Kevin said. I will download some more from iTunes. Would love to hear the Rabbit Songs.
