“We are certainly surprised, but we cannot thank @princessalexandranh’s midwives, nurses, doctors and everyone involved enough for making such a difficult time that little bit easier. You were really great.
“The past two weeks have been manic to say the least along with being very scary and emotional, but all we can hope for is that our ray of sunshine just gets better and stronger, ready to come home for the next few months.
“Our little boy looks healthy and we just couldn’t love him more.
