Baby Alex was born on 26th March 2009 at 4.02 am. I had to be induced at 38 weeks due to pre
eclampsia. Alex was 6lb 15oz and I couldnt believe the love I felt for him, that feeling every
mother talks about, but I thought you could never love anything as much as I love Alex.

At 4 days old Alex was admitted into hospital, he was highly jaundice, dehydrated and his blood acid
levels were dangerously high, he almost needed a blood transfusion :( He was in an incubator for 2
days and on a drip for 4 days. My little monkey came back fighting and he was like a different
baby, but of course still my perfect boy.

We was allowed home when Alex was 8 days old and he was so content and he actually cried to be fed
:) I couldnt believe what a difference there was.

When Alex was 11 days old we had the best day as a family, just me Alex and his Daddy. We did what
we wanted, no visiting family and no family visiting, just the 3 of us. That night we had our first
photos taken as a family, and I'm soooo glad we took them as they were to be the last photos of our
precious little monkey. Our perfect son passed away in his sleep in the early hours of Tuesday
morning when he was just 12 days old. He died on 7th April the day before his EDD of 8th April 2009
:(

It hurts so much, we miss him so bad.

'Sweet Dreams Little Man, Mummy and Daddy will always love you, you'll always be our perfect son,
and we will never forget about you and always talk about you. Floaty kisses to you my Angel Baby
xxxx

~♥~ ONLY THE BEST ~♥~
A heart of gold stopped beating
Two shining eyes at rest
God broke our hearts to prove
he only takes the best
God knows you had to leave us
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day he took you home
To some you are forgotten
To others just a part of the past
But to us who have loved and lost you
The memory will always last.

♥xxxxxxxxxxxx♥

We have your post mortem results now Son, there was no reason for your death, which makes it all the
more harder :(

We hope you are having fun in Heaven with all your little Buddies and arent being too much of a
little monkey :) Love you, Sweet Dreams xxx

Mummy and Daddy are now having another little baby, thank you so much for sending us a gorgeous baby
sister for you. We promise to tell her all about you. Love you always xxx

What makes a Mother

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother
And I know I heard him say.
A Mother has a baby
This we know is true.'


But God, can you be a Mother
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can, He replied
With confidence in His voice
I give many women babies
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime
And others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
But there's no need to stay.


I just don't understand this, God
I want my baby here
He took a breath and cleared His throat
And then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say:
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
Of love and life and fear.


My Mommy loved me oh so much
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom
Who had so much love for me
I learned my lesson very quickly
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much
But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And whisper in her ear.
"Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here."


So you see my dear sweet one
Your children are ok
Your babies are here in My home
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me
Until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home
They'll be at the gates for you.


So now you see what makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize
You are a Mother until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
And you know you're the best one!

Missing You Son xxx

One Wish - (Author Unknown)

If i could wish upon a star
I would wish for you back here
I know you're happy where you are
But i miss you and want you near

Although I see you everyday
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I miss you more than words can say
It just gets worse, it seems

I try to be strong for others around
But all i want to do is cry
I just sit for hours by myself
And ask the question 'Why'?

It's the strongest pain I've ever felt
I don't think I could describe it
Although I try, I do my best
I don't think that I can hide it

My life will never be the same
That's why it's hard to bear
Because since the day you left us
I think that life's not fair

Some things seem not to matter now
Even things that mattered before
You have no idea what I would give up
To make this pain less sore

People say we'll meet again
And yeah I know that's true
But I wish it didn't have to be this way
Because you know how much I miss you

I love you with all my heart and soul
And there's one thing you need to know
There's not one person in the human race
That could ever take your place

im so sorry he a shing star sleep well angel xxxx

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
