Like any concerned mum, Clarissa Bromelle ensures her baby is snug and cosy before he leaves the warmth of the hospital for the first time.
And as the biting frost and freezing fog looms outside, Zebedee needs to be properly protected from the cold before he can take his first journey home with his parents.
Yet had he headed home soon after he was born, like any healthy baby, his parents would have wanted to shelter him from the fierce rays of the sun during a record-breaking heatwave.
It is a measure of Zebedee's incredible journey that he was meant to come in to the world during the grey skies and drizzle of November, but arrived dramatically and completely unexpectedly on a burning hot day in July.
His story - and that of his brave parents - actually begins a year before that, when Miss Bromelle, 35, and partner Joseph Man, 27, suffered the heartache of a series of miscarriages.
