Emily Blackwell has revealed that she and her fiancé Jordan Oldershaw welcomed their first child, a premature baby girl, almost two months ago.
The Made In Chelsea star, 28, took to her Instagram with a heartwarming post and revealed that the baby had finally been allowed to return home after spending a grueling 53 days in intensive care.
Eva June Oldershaw was born 10 weeks early on November 3 and was forced to spend weeks in an incubator, which Emily described as the “most difficult time” of her and Jordan’s lives.
The reality star shared a montage of the little one’s time in the hospital, from being hooked up to equipment in an incubator to finally recovering enough to return home.
Emily wrote in the long caption: Hello world, Eva June Oldershaw was born on November 3, 2024. After 53 days in the NICU, our little miracle is finally home. Eva was born more than 10 weeks early.
To say that the last few months have been the most difficult times of our lives would be an understatement.’
Emily Blackwell has revealed that she and her fiancé Jordan Oldershaw welcomed their first child, a premature baby girl, almost two months ago.
The Made In Chelsea star, 28, took to her Instagram with a heartwarming post and revealed that the baby had finally been allowed to return home after spending a grueling 53 days in intensive care.
She continued: “Not being able to take our baby home for two months, feeling totally out of control, sitting for hours looking at the monitors, listening to the beeps and alarms going off, not knowing what each day will bring.”
‘Looking 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 am incredibly grateful that she is now here with us at home and healthy.”
Emily continued: ‘I can’t thank the NHS enough and in particular Chelsea Westminster Hospital. Midwives, doctors and nurses are ABSOLUTE angels, to whom we will always be indebted.’
‘Although this was not what I had planned, I am still very grateful for the journey we have been on. We have had 10 more weeks with our baby and we have seen her conquer many things. “She’s a strong little lady.”
“Now is the time to settle in and enjoy life as a family of 3 and enjoy every moment in our newborn bubble.”
Before adding: ‘Jordan, you have been my and Eva’s rock through all of this. We couldn’t have done this without you. Juggling all of this while running a business is no joke and every day I am so proud of you. (A little touchy-feely, I know) but seeing how you’ve been with our daughter has made me love you even more.’
Fans and celebrity friends were quick to share their congratulations, with fellow MIC star Lucy Watson writing: “Oh my goodness. She’s such a feisty little one. I’m so glad you can bring your girl home. Congratulations to both xxx’
