What a difference a day makes 😢😢

Yesterday my daughter and daughter-in-law were busy grumbling about how slow their first house purchase is taking and wishing it would speed up as they signed their contract 5 weeks ago.

Today my sweet DiL, who’s carry DD baby went into spontaneous labour and after waters broke and baby was upside down with umbilical cord separating, she had an emergency C section and then at 13:00 baby Henry was born at 24.9 weeks, weighing 1lb 6oz.

We are all hoping for a good outcome in the end, please pray to whatever God or spiritual being or keep your fingers crossed that baby Henry comes through this.

DD and DiL in shock and baby about to be transferred to a Neonatal Unit in a hospital nearly 40 miles away. This is their first baby and first try at IVF. He’s so tiny (I couldn’t see him but DD sent photos) 😢

Good news Cossy. He sounds like a good,spirited lad. My granddaughter used to pull her tubes out, too and the nurses used to say she was a bossy baby! They were so good, 24+ hour care one on one. They are marvellous people, aren’t they ?
Hope the mums are coping well and you grandmums as well !

They are absolute angels (well the vast majority of them haha)

All us adults are coping and supporting each other, thank you.

As always, you literally have no idea how very much I appreciate all of your lovely comments and just needed to say thank you all so much 🩵🌻

What an encouraging update, Cossy. Thirty weeks is a milestone worth celebrating, certainly.
I am so pleased to hear that your little chap is in the care of warm and caring staff.
Best wishes to you all.

Still watching and waiting for his final release from hospital - which will come - it just seems like eternity.

That all sounds like things are heading in the right direction Cossy

I can’t believe he’s 6 weeks old!

You don't mess with little Henry! He's not happy with all this nappy changing.
So glad he is putting on weight and doing better.
