While a lot of events and occasions in our lives have had to be put on indefinite hold, there are some which can’t just be postponed or rescheduled.
For soon-to-be parents Jessica Garside, 29, and Daniel Shuttleworth, 36, life literally goes on. They have just given birth to their first child, Rebecca Sylvia Garside, and while it was still a time of excitement and joy for the couple, there were some worries about giving birth in the middle of lockdown measures. “It was a massive concern,” Jessica told the Manchester Evening News. “You wait all this time to have a baby, you make it work and then you end up having it happen during the peak of the pandemic.” It has been a long time in the making for Jessica and Daniel.
