My daughter has just called from New Zealand with news that my granddaughter was born two hours ago at 27 weeks gestation. She weighs just under a kilo and is now in NICU. I'm shaking with shock and frustration - she's so far away and all I want to do is get on a plane and go and hug my baby. I'm on my way to Manchester as my mum goes into hospital for her cancer op today so I'm staying overnight at my sister's. The household is asleep and I've rarely missed my husband more than I do right now - he's in Newcastle and both his phones go straight to voicemail.
Just home from a break away and picked up your good news about the baby coming home. How wonderful! Hard work for her mum but amazing little fighter! Hope she continues to get stronger every day.
GA My Greatgrandson could fit in a sun hat he was so tiny now he is 5 and as big as the rest so take heart.Hey im not that old just married very young.
Greetings from New Zealand and say hello to my beautiful granddaughter. Here I am having my first tearful cuddle with her - so many times I thought this day might never come, but here she is; alive and thriving!
