Grace Hannah Boyd.

Yesterday we reached one of my anticipated highlights of the year. H gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl at 5.15am and by 3pm I was in hospital giving her a cuddle.I felt so privileged. Thankyou Charlotte for making that possible, you’re awesome! I’ve never seen such a fresh baby apart from my own. Less than ten hours old. the whole event threw me and consumed my thougts. From the previous night when H text to say contractions were coming every three minutes, I was filled with excitement and worry in equal measures. When the new daddy, S phoned me yesterday morning I was so relieved I started crying. what a wuss. And when I opened the hospital room door, the tears returned as I saw my friend with her daughter. I was overwhelmed how these two people had suddenly transformed into parents, H so calm, S so confident with his tiny bundle and both quite literally gushing with pure joy.

H, you are a shining example to all women.

Welcome to the world Grace, I can’t wait to get to know you.
