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!

�100? That's not toop bad is it really.... Sorry you're feeling rotten... Have you tried ginger beer? We went to the Jack Johnson concert in Hyde Park yesterday. It was BRILLIANT. We went with 3 of our closest friends. They all know we've been TTC so we announced our pregnancy to them yesterday. They were SOOOOOOO excited for us. It was just wonderful.... Hope you feel better today. em x

Thanks for the comments...it is crazy how fast it is starting to go, but I think part of that is because I am feeling so much better now, and can feel him move all throughout the day, so the worry is a little less, too.
The first 14 weeks took a while for me, it seems, but after that, I am not sure where the last month and a half went!

GreenWood - Tuesday, 1 July
Ooooh how exciting! Where are you having it done? I assume it costs an arm and a leg, doesn't it?

GreenWood - Tuesday, 1 July
Urgh. Poor you... I guess I have all that to look forward too. Right now, I just feel SUPER bloated, get a bit of crampy twinges through the day and pain in my lower back. What joy. How many weeks do you have till your u/s?! Em x

grexach - Tuesday, 1 July
I will be 10 weeks and 1 day at my next scan. So excited.

boyfriend so busy its unreal. hardly seen him and whne i have hes been the walking dead. thats why this month away is so important for us. just got the nursery ready at the weekend. keep sitting in there as its so nice and peaceful. how are things with you? are you still working hard? xxx

GreenWood - Monday, 30 June
Hey! Thanks so much for you message.... It's so exciting!! DH is not completely convinced though as the line is still faint, so I went out and splurged on a couple of those digital tests, and we've decided to test again on Wednesday and then again on Sunday. What is it with men and gadgets?!? Lol. Hope you're feeling well and that you haven't had any more spotting. Em x

grexach - Monday, 30 June
Yay! That is so great! I am excited for you to see your little bean earlier than you expected. Can't wait to see the pics. My next u/s is only a few days later than yours on July 15th.

AprilChristine - Saturday, 28 June
Thank you. sorry it took a while to respond. she keeps me busy. I'm very flattered that I inspire you. You will be in my shoes very soon. Its been great so far. there are just no words for how wonderful it's been. I'm exausted, sore, and the happiest woman on this earth! lol.

How have you been? is everything going okay so far? i know there isn't much they can tell until you are further along, but emotionally are you holding up well. I'm sure you are. you come across to me as a very strong person. well, i think it's time to change aubreys daipy. she is fussing. :) take care.

and keep me posted.

Thank you so much for your comment about my Snowy video! I am glad you liked it, she has been our best buddy since we adopted her two years ago. If you ever need a good laugh, she has her own youtube page

I am glad everything is going good for you! Its so hard to relax and enjoy pregnancy after a loss, but you sound like you are able to do it! I just know this little one will be healthy and strong!

Mireille - Thursday, 26 June
