Poppy is a year old!

Poppy Hope, my beautiful granddaughter, was born on the 29th July 2010 at four o`clock in the afternoon by C section.  

Poppy was born at 30 weeks gestation, ten weeks early, and she weighed just 3 pounds 4 ounces. Her identical twin sister, Emily Faith, was born sleeping, she was too ill to make it. God bless you Emily, we all love you so much. x

Poppy had fought to be in this world, the doctors called her a miracle. She certainly is a miracle, she has brought joy into our lives, and she has just turned one year old.

The birthday party was a big one, lots of people turned out to celebrate the first birthday of Poppy in the garden, she thoroughly enjoyed herself, crawling round the lawn, getting dirty in the process! Just as well she loves her bath! Grandma made her a cake in the shape of a number one with her name iced in pink, she had some lovely presents and so many cards her Mummy and Daddy wondered where to put them! They will all go into a scrap book to keep for when she gets older so that she will be able to look back and see who wished her a happy first birthday.
