Oliver did very well when Mama and
Daddy decamped to hospital to prepare for Freya.
There may have been some dodgy dealings
with granny and grandpapa –
"yes granny mama lets me do this all the
time!"
Meanwhile at the hospital there were two days of steroids and
then our favourite Dr Bailey did another fantastic job and after
almost two years of holding our breath Freya arrived healthy and
perfect and with a strong set of lungs!

Mama meeting and holding Freya for the first time in NICU
First cuddle the next day - Mama escaped from the nurses on the ward!
Daddy cuddles are the best!
NICU become our home on and off for two weeks
Unfortunately Freya was tubed straight after she was born and strong a sense of deja vu occured for the first two weeks.
Freya came home briefly and then went back to NICU for a few more days
Of course Freya had the traditional first bath in NICU -
our home away from home.
Here Freya is meeting her big brother O and her granny for the first time.
Freya gave Oliver a very special present for being a wonderful big brother - Oliver loves Oliver Jeffers' books especially the ones about the boy and his friend the penguin...Granny and Mama made a boy and a penguin to go with the book!
