Little Miss Zoë

Its all been a bit quiet on the blog lately, That’s because of a mixture of things. Firstly it has all been a bit surreal for everyone, hasn’t it. The world has come to a standstill with Covid-19. It’s like something out of an apocalyptic movie. Nobody is sure how or even when it’s going to end.

But Through All Of The Uncertainty In The World – Something Most Amazing Happened!

My amazing daughter-in-law and son gave birth to a beautiful little girl, Little Miss Zoë was born on 11th March. Words cannot express the feelings that you have when you become a grandma. You have this new baby to love and cherish, but you don’t get the hard work that goes with it. A grandchild is the most amazing gift.

Amber had a rough pregnancy, and then at 20 weeks, she found out that Little Miss Zoe had suffered a congenital amputation and her right arm was missing. What followed was many worrying weeks whilst we found out if there were any other problems. Luckily after weeks of stress and many tears, we found out that Little Miss Zoë was perfect in every other way. From the start Little Miss Zoë was a fighter!

When she was born, we went out to Holland, where they live. To see her and hold her was the most amazing thing. Seeing Tilly and Kim fall in love with this beautiful little girl, was absolutely amazing and Little Miss Zoë has absolutely melted my heart.

We came home and Europe went into lock-down, the next day. So although we needed to be at home, we were completely cut off from them. We had planned to be out there again over the weekend, but obviously that couldn’t happen. Luckily with modern technology, We get to video call and Amber and Zach send daily photo’s and updates. Staying home is the safest thing for us all at the moment and although it is tough for us all now, being separated. It won’t be forever. And as she gets older, Little Miss Zoë will be able to say she was born in the middle of the great Coronavirus time.

Taking It A Day At A Time Till We See Her Again

Life is certainly different since my grand-daughter was born. She is such a happy and content little girl. Zoë only has one arm, but she doesn’t know any different and it absolutely makes her one of a kind. She is strong and her arm is strong. She is smiling already and she absolutely melts my heart. Little Miss Zoë is such a special gift for us all. She has bought so much joy to everyone. I watch Zach and Amber with her and she is so lucky to have parents that love and adore her. I see so much love and amazement in their eyes when they watch her. It is pure love!
