"He's gorgeous, he's so small," she said sobbing into her phone as she looked at her baby son.
She added: "Hello my little boy. I'm sorry I can't come and visit you now but your daddy's got a present from me.
"I can't wait to see you, I can't wait to see you home. You came just a little bit too early and I'm a little bit too poorly to visit you right now.
"I've been poorly for quite a while but I'm going to get better now and I'm going to look after you, and hold you and protect you.
