Picture: Adam Armstrong Source: News Limited A PRINCESS, a hero and a tiny little miracle - yesterday Sienna Emery was celebrating much more than a simple first birthday. One year ago, Sienna was born at just 24 weeks and three days, weighing in at a mere 664g and leaving both her and her mother fighting for their lives. Yesterday the family celebrated the day they feared would never come, Sienna's first birthday, by throwing a princess-themed party with about 140 of their closest friends. "It was insane ... Sienna's just been absolutely in heaven and all the attention's been on her," said mum Dimity. She was just the little party diva. Ms Emery said Sienna had been an inspiration to the family, beating the odds to become a healthy, happy baby that loved to socialise. She's just a little blessing really. Everyone thinks that they gave birth to their hero and she's that for our family," she said. She's the smallest in our family but she's the strongest already. Ms Emery said in lieu of presents, guests were asked for a donation that they could present to Dr David Cartwright at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, to help their importantvital work treating premature babies such as Sienna in the future.
