Her dad Truong Nguyen drove his wife Thi Tran to the hospital early on Tuesday morning after a rather sleepless night on New Year’s Eve.
Ny Ny, meaning “happy, confident girl”, is the first born for the high-school sweethearts who moved here from Vietnam after marrying in 2017.
Thi Tran said the recently married couple have only shared a home together in Orange for five months, but have known each other their whole lives as they were neighbours as children.
She said she was looking forward to having her new little family at home, especially since she’d been separated from her husband until recently while he worked towards his visa.
Ny Ny’s grandma Hue Nguyen made a decision to fly from Vietnam this week, arriving in Australia on January 02 to meet her granddaughter who was in a hurry to greet the world.
