Halle- jane Born at 11.50pm weighing just 5 IB 6oz.
Birth Story
When I was 20 weeks pregnant, we found that Halle had a lump in her brain (dural sinus malformation in the posterior fossa)
At 32 weeks pregnant, we was told there was a very good chance Halle wasen't going to survive and if she did she would probably end up handicapped, so we was offered termination- which we rejected, broke our hearts to even think about it!
On May 11th I went into hospital for a planned inducement.. being induced at 1.30pm and straight away having contractions. was then in labour for 10-11 hours and had her at 11.50pm. Again not having pain relief lol When she was born, she came out and there was complete silence for minutes.. but when she started screaming.. me and George burst into tears, was the most emotional experience weve ever EVER been through. We was so worried about what was going to happen. The next day, she undergoed many mri scans and tests and they said the dural sunis malformation had no blood flow to it- meaning it wont grow anymore and she may not even need an operation. She also had a big birth mark across her arm which the doctors was worried about- so they checked her liver and blood out and everything passed perfectly. She had another test done on her heart and found there was a small hole in her bottom ventriculls but hoping is will heal up in a few months time, so she will need to be tested oftern. Halle-Jane is our little miracle and we cannot believe how lucky we are! She has been so sooooo strong and I'm so proud of her. She is sooo beautiful! I would like to thank everyone so much for the support.. all our friends and family. We appreciate everything and making us strong and keeping us together! It has been a real struggle, but now things are looking fantastic and can't wait to show her off to everyone :-)













It was our first year wedding anniversary on the 7th of July :-)

Halle at 9 weeks

Jess at 6 weeks

glad you had a good time with your family, i bet they loved her didnt they....
are you still feeling depressed or are you feeling a bit better now???
i havent been up to anything really, the kids are back to school, so life has returned to normal..and its lovely and peacefull ha ha..i have also been asked if i want to run the toddler group i help at on a monday which leaves me in the BOSS position ha ha...that will also bring in a bit more money for me to splash out on the kids...oh i love to spend ha ha..
anyway going to go and put the dinner on..kids are all fed and watered now i have to do round two for me and roo ha ha..all good fun in this mad house...i could really do with having a dose but eh!! asleep


mumof5kids - Tuesday, 3 June
hi .....hows you and that lil beauty today.... had big internet connection problems...but im back now..lol


mumof5kids - Saturday, 31 May
oh no ..if you think you have the baby blues go and see your health visitor as you dont want it getting out of control. it can sometimes just spring up on you i know what its like i had depression with my 12 yr old but beofre i had him, and i had it slightly with my 5 yr old... but none of the others....make your go get some help ok love coz you dont have to be alone with the sadness.....
anyway i have put 2 pics of me in my page...2 weeks and 4 days, it was on my due date....of me and how i look right now, im still carrying a bit of flab on my tummy but its going down now......
my main problem was my swelling.. my feet and legs were like elephants..i think i added a pic on my profile in the pic section but not 100% sure.....
going to make a cuppa.....where did you say you lived again??????im sure you told me but i cant remember...blonde moment lol alaugh


mumof5kids - Saturday, 31 May
well we are thinking of taking the two little ones to london on the train ..and then on the underground as alfie loves underground ernie on the tv..ha ha but im not sure if its a wise idea with a 3 week old baby a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old.... maybe slightly mad
i have been giving freddie 2 bottles of my milk at night and early morning and then all day formula and then i express again in the evening ready for the night time... i feel slightly better today and not in quite so much (full up pain )...so maybe im losing some of my milk supply now, and im also finding myself not feeling so sore...hopefully in the next day or two i will be able to put him back on for a propper feed??? freddie to is going about 3/4 hrs and maybe 5 at night if im lucky...glad your ok, have fun with your family..is it the first time they will have seen halle..??


mumof5kids - Friday, 30 May
i havent bought them yet havent had the chance to get into town i have all the kids home and walking round town with them all is a nightmare to think about let alone actually doing lol
i will prob go up there monday....but for now i have expressed in the evening just to give him my milk at night and during the day i have put him on formula...i am having trouble getting my body to adjust to only feeding night time...but i have put up with the pain all day today and just expressed tonight so hopefully it will start to diminish in the next few days.......night time would be better suited to me as i am so busy during the week and havent the time to keep pumping with every bottle he needs....iv noticed the difference already..its so much easier and he seems more settled.....
anyway thats enough about me...hows you???


mumof5kids - Friday, 30 May
she is still so tiny.....he is sleeping and feeding ok, but im not doing good with breast feeding im still expressing as i have got cracked nipples and they are red roar... i am giving him formula trying to do that during the day and breast milk at night.....going to play it by ear...
had him weighed yesterday, his due date was the day before..and i wanted to know what he would have weighed at birth he was 8lb and half an ounce....so he has put on a lb in 2 and a half weeks ha ha so hes doing ok ha ha
anyway hope you and halle are well ...its got a bit boring on here now we are all having our babies, i loved it in the preg section but its not the same now is it....


mumof5kids - Wednesday, 28 May
she is totally beautiful..... so tiny isnt she..lol

Are you breastfeeding?
Me and charlie are fine thanks! Having some lack-of-milk troubles but sticking with it. He's starting to look like a little boy now instead of a baby - bit premature but there ya go! I saw a woman i met @ aquanatal yesterday with her 7wk old baby (charlie being 8wks) and she was half the size of charlie and still didnt look like she'd embraced the world yet. Charlie's just so laidback, lol. I'm probably biast though. Guilty, lol.
How's jess copin with bein a big sis? x x
