In preparation for the birth of my first grandchild, my son and his lovely partner moved recently. They are now living only ten minutes away - child care on tap!
Naturally being pregnant she needed to register with local doctor. When registering the receptionist called out the meet mid wife to introduce Ellie. The midwife was introduced as Alan. Excited Ellie rang me.
‘Marilyn you’ll never guess what?’
‘What?’ I asked.
‘My midwife’s name is Alan!’
‘No!’ I exclaimed. ‘Surely it can’t be?’
‘Yes!’ She exclaimed. ‘ He is an older guy so it could be....’
‘Well of all the surgeries in all the world...’ I stated.
‘I will check him out!’
I did.... and it was..... the very same Alan who helped to deliver my son, who has the middle name of Alan, to remember the wonderful midwife who went the extra mile by staying on five extra hours beyond his shift to deliver him. I was Alan’s last patient before he was transferring to a different hospital, but he came back three days later to check in with Mother and Baby!
My husband and I have also moved since we had the children so ......... coincidence of what??????
Can’t wait till Ellie sees him for her appointment on 6th June!
Our other fabulous news is that my youngest son was offered an unconditional place at four universities. He has accepted the offer from Norwich University to study 3D animation and Visual Effects. This is an amazing achievement since he has special educational needs and some health issues which he has had to overcome. The course combines and plays to his strengths. Having visited the uni and town I am delighted for him.
Looks like it is all change from September ! Roll on!!!!!
