When the midwife examined  Gemma, it was noticed there was Meconium in the water, the baby had opened his bowels.

Sorry Gemma you have to stay incase the baby goes into distress.

48 hrs later still waiting and still smiling

Now its action stations, arrangements were made for Ryan to stay at Gemmas, while daddy and grandaddy come to the hospital.

Eventually on Monday  July 11th 2011 at 4.37am, we were presented with a beautiful grandson weighing 7lb 14oz.
