Father delivers the baby under the Christmas tree

For the most part, I post either terrible stories or extremely vain ones. Anyhow, this particular one happens to be really cute.

Ryan Jones delivered his baby under the Christmas tree himself as he was sure the ambulance wouldn’t make it on time. Although he called 999 but it was too late & instructions was given to him on the phone. She was born within 15 minutes. They have named the baby Khloe. Both the mother & baby didn’t have to go to the hospital after the check up from the paramedics & midwife.

Ryan said: 'I just did what I was told - thankfully it all went very smoothly. It was amazing, especially because it all happened under the Christmas tree.'

The mother Elin Davies Russell is also very excited how baby Khloe has been born.

She said: 'When Khloe is older she will be able to boast that she was born under a Christmas tree - not many people can say that. And she was delivered by her own dad - he kept very calm and did a great job.'

Well this is not the first time a baby has been delivered at home or elsewhere without the assistance of a doctor or nurse but beyond any doubt, baby Khloe is very special. And this is, by all means, a wonderful Christmas gift for both Ryan & Elin. I don’t know anyone who has been born under the Christmas & that too by her own dad. Khloe is one lucky baby!

Grandma becomes the oldest surrogate mother

This has been an amazing story. Pamela Butler’s daughter Nichola was not medically able to give birth, which is why her mom became the oldest surrogate mother in Britain. She is 57 year old.

Pamela gave birth to a healthy 5lb 12oz Josef by Caesarean section in August. And Josef is a very cute boy.

Although Mrs Butler was worried about her age but she wanted to help out her daughter.

‘It was the greatest gift I could have given her. It’s wonderful to watch her being a mum now. The doctors were wonderful and very reassuring. Luckily it was an easy pregnancy and it was the most wonderful moment when Nichola held her son for the first time. It didn’t feel like he was my baby but it was just that I was carrying him for Nichola. I babysit for him sometimes and he’s just a wonderful little lad.’

The risk for pregnancy increases with age. If you’re 35 or above, then you must decide carefully to become a surrogate mother. Anyway, this must have been a miracle for Nichola & her husband. The couple went through 4 fertility treatment, cause 3 times it just failed.

Nichola knew that she would not be able to become pregnant as her womb didn’t develop properly. At 1^st she & her husband thought of adoption but then they decided on surrogacy.

Earlier this month, a court issued a parental order legally recognizing Mr and Mrs Pagett as Josef’s parents, as in England and Wales, at the moment of the child’s birth, the surrogate mother is also the legal mother.

I think this story is a ray of hope for all those people who don’t have kids. The desire to have kids is very natural. It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of kids or not. Having your own child is a different thing. I think Nichola is one lucky woman & her mom made her dream come true. What more could you ask for!
