Baby of the week: Bo'ness tot Gracie Currie

Mum Abbie Anderson, 27, is a clinical support worker with the NHS, while dad Johnny Currie, 31, is a crosscutter.

Gracie has a big brother Riley, and a big sister Harper, who she loves to bits. The family live in Bo’ness.

Mum said the pregnancy was quick. The first time mum and dad saw Gracie at the first scan, mum was told she was 22 weeks pregnant. Mum said: “I couldn’t believe it. There were some tears as I was in shock but so excited to become a mum at the same time.”

She added: “The birth was difficult, but she’s here now and that’s all that matters.”

Mum and dad had a list of names and Gracie was always high up on the list for them. Although, when she was born they did consider changing it, but mum had been calling her Gracie throughout her pregnancy.

Gracie is now seven months old and is very much her own wee character. She loves to laugh and make people laugh. Mum says she’s such a happy wee soul they hardly ever hear her cry.

Gracie’s proud grandparents are Ian and Pauline Anderson, nana and grandad Izzy and Stevie Kilgallon, and her GG John Currie.

Mum said she would like to thank the team who supported her throughout her time at Forth Valley Royal and got Gracie here safely.
