Hide AdTHE BIRTH: Despite having a due date of January 11, Kate is convinced this was slightly out as Holly was a good weight for a premature baby. However, when she did go into hospital the labour lasted 24 hours.
THE BABY: Now five months, Holly is described by her mum as very content, even though she has started teething.
THE NAME; Holly was a name the couple both liked and seemed perfect for a December baby, while Marion is after Kate’s mum.
THE GRANDPARENTS: Holly is a much-loved first grandchild for Marion and Paddy Gillhooly of Grangemouth, and Isabella Brown of Denny.
THANKS: Kate would like to thank her best friend Sarah Jones, partner Stephen, her mum and the whole family for their support during the pregnancy and since Holly was born.
