Flynn has a big sister Tilly who is three.

Mum said the pregnancy was hard as she was sickness from the start until the end, however seeing him at scans and feeling his little kicks made it better.

She said the birth was very fast. Her waters broke at 6am and he was delivered naturally at 8.55am. Flynn spent a short amount of time in the NICU as he struggled to maintain his temperature after he was born.

Mum and dad couldn’t find a name they liked. They searched for a long time. They knew they wanted Mathieson after Chloe’s dad and James after Andrew’s papa, but finding a first name was difficult. They eventually both agreed on Flynn and mum says it’s perfect.

Flynn is a happy wee guy and he loves watching his sister’s every move.

His proud grandparents are Mandy and Mat Kennedy and Susanne and Alan Gibson.
