Emily wrote in the lengthy caption: ‘Hello world Eva June Oldershaw born 03.11.2024. After 53 days in the NICU our little miracle is finally home. Eva was born over 10 weeks early’.
‘To say the last few months have been the hardest times of our lives, would be an understatement.’
She continued: ‘Not being able to take our baby home for 2 months, feeling totally out of control, sitting for hours staring at monitors, listening to the bleeping and alarms going off, not knowing what each day will bring.’

‘Staring at Eva through an incubator with wires everywhere and feeling totally helpless, asking the nurses to help us hold our baby. This is not how I imagined it…However, Eva is one tough cookie and I’m so incredibly grateful she’s now here with us at home and healthy’.
Emily went on: ‘I can’t thank the NHS enough and in particular, the Chelsea Westminster Hospital. The midwives, doctors and nurses are ABSOLUTE angels, who we will forever be indebted to’.
‘Even though this was not what I had planned, I’m still so grateful for the journey we been on. We have had 10 extra weeks with our baby girl and watched her conquer so much. She is one strong little lady’.
‘Now it’s time to adjust and enjoy life as a family of 3 and soak up every single moment in our newborn bubble’.
Before adding: ‘Jordan, you have been mine and Eva’s rock through all of this. There’s no way could we have done this without you. Juggling all this whilst running a business is no joke and everyday I’m so proud of you. (A bit soppy, I know) butttt watching the way you have been with our daughter has made me love you even more’.
