We are extremely happy to finally announce the arrival of our third son Ultan, Jian 堅, Tor.
Ultan was born Friday 30th November at Queen Mary Hospital , Hong Kong weighing 3.16kgs with a complete cleft lip and palate.
As some of you may know, Mark was born in the province of Ulster , Ireland making him an Ulsterman! Ultan which means "Ulsterman" in Irish was inspired by his Daddy's birth place in Ireland . Jian 堅 is a nod to his Chinese birth place and means strong, unyielding, resolute, unbreakable. Tor which means hill top in Irish signifies reaching the summit of this journey to meet our Celtic Dragon!
The Lowry Cummings Family are very much looking forward to Christmas this year cuddling up at home as a family of 5 :) In the meantime we urge you to stand up for the Ulsterman and toast to his Good Health!
Love,
Mark, Eimhear, Seán, Kai and Ultan xxo
PS: We will be writing more soon!
Hi Eimhear. I am 22 weeks pregnant and my baby is diagnosed to have both cleft lip and palate. I felt devastated at first but as I went through your blog, I became emotionally strong. I just felt sorry to my baby for passing on such genes but God has given us beautiful gift so I am trying to see the positive side and be thankful. Thank you for sharing your journey. It helped me and my husband so much.
