Introducing.....

Aahliyah Louise, born 29 July 2008 at 10.56pm and weighing in at 4180g (9lb 4 oz). Our first grandchild.

#1 son and dil are over the moon, she is a beautiful baby girl. We spent the day with both of them in the birthing unit along with DIL parents. We talked, we laughed and we cried throughout the day. There were calm times and there were times of shear agony.

Aahliyah was born by caesarean after a long and hard labour of going nowhere. It was something to watch my son walk up the corridor of the birthing unit wheeling his baby girl towards us. We stayed and watched her be weighed, had her hair washed, needles given and wrapped up and put in her crib.

We then stayed with her in her room waiting for her mum to join her new daughter. Just beautiful. Then is was time for us 4 new and first time grandparents to leave the new mummy, daddy and baby girl together. It was nearly 1am this morning.
