Our Little Princess

Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal

After a long labor and little results Fernanda and Phil decided to go ahead with their doctors recommendation of performing a c-section to deliver Amy on Saturday afternoon, January 28th. Phil was present to film the procedure, with all of the family anxiously awaiting a few feet away, each with their thoughts and prayers for mother and child, and shortly after 4.30 pm their beautiful daughter Amy was presented to the world. How relieved and happy we all were for them both as the long hours waiting at the hospital were finally rewarded! It was a joyful and emotional moment when the proud papa came out grinning to present the news! Thank God for such a perfect little girl! Much thanks must again go to the staff at the Royal Vic, always very professional and understanding, who helped make the six days as comfortable and easy as possible for everyone, and ensured Fer and Amy were well cared for. And what a wonderful feeling it was for me when I first held my granddaughter in my arms!! Today Fernanda, who is recovering and in great health, brings Amy home - such a change will come over this old place of brick, mortar and wood when her cries and laughter begin to fill a void so long empty! Thanks to everyone who sent kind and encouraging words this past month and, as you can see from the pictures, we have all been blessed.  gws
