joined our family on the 27th December 2010
Maddy came into our lives almost exactly one year after the very sad loss of our first pregnancy...
Sadly our first baby had to go to heaven at 13 weeks. We discovered at our scan that our little bub had Anencephaly, a fatal neural tube defect which causes the head and brain not to form - a condition totally incompatible with life. We therefore had no choice but to say goodbye to our little bundle of joy and opt for a d&c on the 29th February. Our hearts were broken by this terrible experience.
We now have an Angel in heaven and we have taken many blessings from the 3 months our little baby had with us. That little person will always have a special place in our hearts.
Maddy and Sophie are truely blessings, we are so grateful to have them share our lives and we know they have an angel watching over them in heaven.
What follows is a poem a lovely friend from this site sent to me. It brought comfort to me and I hope it will do the same for others who have experienced a loss.
I did not die young.
I lived the span of my life in your body,
And within your love.
There are many who have lived long lives
And have not been as loved as me.
If you would honour me, then speak my name,
And number me among your family.
If you would honour me, then try to live in love,
For in that love, I live.
Never ever doubt that we will meet again.
Until that happy day, I will grow with God
And wait for you
If you are interested, all my updates are in my blog section on the right.
Best of Luck to everyone trying for a baby and Congratulations to all those with a little bundle of joy on the way!
