Hi everyone, my name is Janine. Thanks for stopping by my page.

We found out today (8th June 2008) that we are pregnant for the second time and are overjoyed but terrified at the same time.

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.

We are so grateful for the wonderful second chance we have been given and can only hope and pray that all unfolds well this time around.

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!

Hey Janine. Glad to hear hear you're doing well. Smart move to not go to B&Q yesterday. The world and it's dog was probably there! What will happen to the loft bedroom? Will you make into an office/spare bedroom?
That's really great that you're getting extra scans. So important to make sure that all is well and reassure you both. Of course you're anxious... but remember that all is pointing to a healthy baby!
You should take another belly pic. Your last was at 12 weeks I think. Show us that bump!
I'm doing well.
I'm on CD14 today. Been using the OPKs with not clear reading yet, but we're getting plenty of BD in all the same. It's weird: in the month following the miscarriage I didn't feel the urgency to conceive as I had done before, but all of a sudden, that strong desire has returned with a vengeance, and I couldn't get pregnant quick enough! Anyway. We'll have to wait and see, won't we!!
Thanks for reading my blog. It's just me prattling on about this and that really... but all my family and friends are scattered across the globe, so it's handy to keep them all up to date with my goings on. Of course, I can't mention anything about the miscarriage or TTC, as only a few close friends know, our family doesn't...
Take care, and go buy yourself a giant pillow! fabs xx
