My Grandson Arrives Early and How Precious is He.....

*************************

Greetings from a proud nana. Please welcome my grandson Dylan Riley Edsel Doyle who decided to arrive seven weeks early on February 26 2009. Weighing in at 4lb 2ozs, this sweet little babe may be small but he is a tough little man. Thankfully he is breathing unaided and looks quite relaxed in his new home, the incubator. We were hoping he would stay snug in the womb for a few weeks longer but he was determined to be born. It is early days but he is in the best possible place, the nurses of the neonatal unit at the Treliske Hospital, Truro, are wonderful. I will be visiting Dylan again tomorrow and can’t wait.......And my darling little granddaughter will also be visiting her baby brother again. Korenza gave her sibling a beautiful smile when she first saw him but at aged 14 months old couldn’t understand why she couldn’t go play with him.......

My bed now beckons but I will be back soon with pictures of this precious gift, my grandson....Until next time...lol......

Baby's First Day
Wonder of all wonderment!

Momentous moment when small form

First feels life in itself.

When new eyes open wide

On old, old world.

When tiny hands handle air;

Touch tenderness and love.

When ears first wake to sound

And silent lips find voice and food.

Soon newly wakened baby wearies.

World will keep.

Being born is quite enough

For one short day.

Baby hands rest;

Baby mouth yawns;

Baby eyes close in sleep.
