Hannah-Ruth – one year later
Only one year ago, Hannah-Ruth was born into this world, 16 weeks early and weighing 680grams. The odds were stacked against her and the situation was an overwhelming and terrifying scene.
Just one year later and what a joy it is to see Hannah-Ruth celebrate her first birthday. Parents Josh and Megan Spence, recently celebrated her birthday with family and friends and are proud to report that whilst life hasn’t been wtihout it’s challenges Hannah-Ruth was coming along in leaps and bounds. Close to crawling, and a chatterbox.
