Abby

I had a vivid dream on Tuesday night about meeting my brother Declan for the first time in over 2 years. He had some surprise for me that he didn't get to share with me in the dream before I woke.

When I got up on Wednesday morning I had an email from him informing me that Vicky, my brother Adrian's wife, had successfully given birth to her first child, a baby girl.


Abby Cunningham was born at around 3pm on 6th January 2009. She weighed in at only 6 lbs 2oz, or 2.78 kg.


Abby became my 4th niece. The other 3 are all my eldest brother Paul's daughters; the eldest Niamh was born on January 1st 2006 and the twins Aoife and Clodagh were born on January 4th 2007.
