How lovely to see that photo at last, ga. She's scrumptious and it's obvious how happy you are to get those cuddles after such a long wait. Have a great time over there

My daughter has just called from New Zealand with news that my granddaughter was born two hours ago at 27 weeks gestation. She weighs just under a kilo and is now in NICU. I'm shaking with shock and frustration - she's so far away and all I want to do is get on a plane and go and hug my baby.
I'm on my way to Manchester as my mum goes into hospital for her cancer op today so I'm staying overnight at my sister's. The household is asleep and I've rarely missed my husband more than I do right now - he's in Newcastle and both his phones go straight to voicemail. 
How wonderful - and reassuring to all grandparents and parents of tiny early babies!
Thrilled for you
Fantastic, GA 
Thank you for sharing this ga - it's made my morning 
GA That little girl is one tough cookie.
How exciting for you grannya, you look so happy! She is beautiful of course.
Enjoy every minute of your stay
Greetings from New Zealand and say hello to my beautiful granddaughter. Here I am having my first tearful cuddle with her - so many times I thought this day might never come, but here she is; alive and thriving!
Such happy news ga
Just home from a break away and picked up your good news about the baby coming home. How wonderful! Hard work for her mum but amazing little fighter! Hope she continues to get stronger every day.
So thrilled for you and all the family.
