Well done Grandma, not only fed Neve a whole bottle, but winded her as well - practise makes perfect!!

 

Richard and Fran's new baby arrived unexpectedly on 9th February, about a month early. She was delivered by Caesarean at the QEQM Hospital without complications, and mother and babe are fine. Nève weighed in at a tiny 1.66Kg, and by 20th was up to 1.76Kg, thats about 3lb11oz up to 4lbs to you and me

More pics in time, watch Nève grow

To save you the time of looking up the meaning of Nève, I have -

• English, Dutch, Danish, and Swedish: from Middle English, Old Norse, Middle Dutch neve ‘nephew’, presumably denoting the nephew of some great personage.
• French (Nève): Lyonnais habitational name from the Rhône place name En Nève, which derives from misdivision of En ève ‘in water’ (modern standard French en eau).
• Italian: from the personal name Neve, which may be from neve ‘snow’ (Latin nix, genitive nivis), possibly denoting a white-haired or very pale-complexioned person, or, according to Caracausi, may be a variant of the personal name Neves, from the Marian epithet Madonna della Neve or Maria Santissima ad nives ‘Mary of the Snows’.
• Portuguese and Galician: from neve ‘snow’. Compare 3

Neve is a phonetic respelling of the Gaelic name 'Niamh', meaning 'brightness' and 'beauty'

And finally - nothing like a good old Skrike (if you dont know what Skriking is, ask "up North"

At present Neve weighs just 1.76Kg, and needs to reach 2.0Kg to be able to come home, hopefully later this week
