'BRITAIN'S shortest family' are set to welcome their second child into the world. Laura and Nathan Phillips, who reside in Sunderland, are expecting the birth of their new baby boy in September 2018. Laura, who stands at 4ft 1, and Nathan, 3ft 11, were both born with a different form of dwarfism – Laura has Achondroplasia and Nathan, Pseudoachondroplasia. Four years ago, Laura gave birth to Nathan Junior, their first child. Miraculously, Nathan Jr was born as a 'double-dwarf' – he has both of his parent's dwarfism, which is an extremely rare occurrence. Nathan Jr was only given hours to live and at the time, he was the only 'double-dwarf' living in the UK. Despite the odds, he is thriving now and is due to start his school life in the same month that his baby brother is born. And now, Laura and Nathan are anxiously waiting to find out whether their unborn son will also carry both of their types of dwarfism – and become the second 'double-dwarf' of the family.
