Special Delivery

We were woken to an unexpected phone call – Liz was in hospital, and the baby was coming early. Could we come to London to look after Rosie while Liz was in hospital? We drove down and arrived in the early hours of the morning; over the next few days we took Rosie to school while Jon shuttled back and forth between home and the hospital.

Once again I was struck by the dedication and care shown by the hospital staff, and I feel so thankful that they were there when we needed them. It wasn’t long before the family was home and we were able to meet the newest addition to the family.

Rosie is already learning how to be a caring and kind big sister, and Jon and Liz are thrilled to be home together and learning how to be a family of four.

It was lovely to meet the new addition to the family, and we’re all looking forward to spending time together over the summer.

Jessica Katherine, 

born 13 June,
