Eight months is such a short time to be alive but already you brought so much joy, love and light
into our lives. I will never forget the first time I saw your face, the first time I felt you kick
and the first time I held you in my arms. I have never helped create anything as beautiful as you
before in my life and all of us will never forget you teddy cub bear.
Please light a candle to let me know you have been remembering Jack. If you don't know what to
write a kiss (x) will do. Thank you to all that visit here and remember our angel son. It means so
much to know you are thinking of him.
The Story of Jack
From the moment I saw Jack at the first scan I felt such an overwhelming rush of love and a need to
protect and care for him. He seemed to be waving at me and his daddy Stevo which made us giggle.
My pregnancy was the happiest time of my life and every time we got to see our precious baby boy was
exciting. Jack loved it when I ate icecream, maple and pecan slices and chilli (not all together!).
He wasn't too keen on satsumas or coffee though so I didn't have them anymore. The first time Jack
kicked we were watching a film and laughing. Jack obviously wanted to join in the fun! He knew
Stevo's voice and would kick like mad when I left work and he could hear daddy. I remember at 24
weeks when we went for the 4D scan we were amazed to see Jack's face. He had my nose and sucked his
thumb like his daddy did! If you told me that you could erase all the pain I feel now Jack is gone
but I would have to erase those 8 months we had with Jack too then I would chose not to. Jack will
never be forgotten - he gave us so much and our love for him lives on in everything we do.
Jack's birth story
I started getting stomach pains on 28th July and put it down to wind. It was my first pregnancy and
everything had been perfect so I wasn't stressed about anything. The next morning I was in pain
still but timed the pains and they were irregular so we thought they must be false labour. Then at
lunchtime on 29th July my mum came round and said I should call the maternity unit as she could see
I was not right. I went in and this horrible midwife asked me about movements and when I said I
wasn't sure (as Jack's movements had slowed down but I thought it was due to the fact I was 35 weeks
pregnant and I was in a lot of pain that day) how many times he'd kicked that day, she had a go at
me and I began to feel awful and guilty. She put a heart monitor on my tummy and then called the
doctor in for a ultrasound and then we had to wait for another doctor. I knew then something was
terribly wrong and began sobbing. The next doctor came in and told me that Jack was dead. I felt
overwhelming guilt that this had happened. Then another doctor examined me and said I was 8cm
dilated. I was taken to the labour ward and was in the first stage of labour for a further 5 hours
and ended up pushing for 3 hours, feeling at times like I couldn't carry on as I knew with every
push Jack was closer to being born but he was not alive. He came out with the cord wrapped around
him many times. The midwife had to clamp and cut the cord whilst he was still inside me. Baby Jack
was delivered on to my tummy at 8.29PM. He looked so perfect - all pink and peaceful as if he was
sleeping. I heard the other babies crying on the ward and willed him to make a noise. We had him
with us in the room over night and then stayed most of the next day. I wanted to cuddle him forever
and it was so hard leaving him at the hospital.
The post mortem results show the placenta failed towards the end of pregnancy which meant Jack was
very under weight for his height but apart from that he was perfectly healthy. It is so unjust that
our little boy is gone.
happy new year.

Miss you so much
What a busy weekend we had Jack! You should have been in my arms at Sarah & Nick's wedding. I felt so excited when I was expecting you that at the wedding you would meet a lot of daddy's family for the first time.
When my family came for Christmas lunch yesterday you should have been here. I know everyone would have been wanting a cuddle with you. I hope you liked your present off Auntie Jo.
Love you x
1st Christmas
We pictured this Christmas in our head so many times when I was pregnant with you Jack. You should have been here in our arms, being cuddled and cooed over by everyone. Your eyes should have sparkled when you saw the fairy lights and tinsel on the tree for the first time. I wish we could hold you again for a while my darling boy. It can feel a very empty time without you with us.
Love Mummy xxx

Darling Jack. 4 months today since we found out you were gone and I gave birth to you. I kept wishing & praying right up until you were born that they had made a terrible mistake and you would be alright really. I miss you so much love mummy xxx
Thank You
Jack, I feel like you protected daddy yesterday when he had that accident. Thank you for making sure that man was there who looked after daddy and gave us a lift to the hospital. I can't wait to get those photos of you put on the computer. Finding them was like having a bit more time with you love mummy x
A Mother's Love
The love that we feel
From the moment we know
A life's starting inside us
Continues to grow
Every butterfly kick
And wriggle in our tummy
Bonds us further still
As we become a mummy
We'd sit down sometimes
Our bump in our hands
Sharing delicate moments
And imagining plans
Then one day our world stopped
Our love mixed with pain
Apart from our baby
Our lives felt in vain
Our love will continue
Til we draw our last breath
A mother's love is stronger
Than the shadow of death
In tribute to our babies
We will build and make plans
Our hearts go on loving
But we'll never understand
Thank You Jack
The first time I felt you kick
Felt like the flutter of a butterfly.
The first time I saw your face
We marvelled that you had my nose.
You loved icecream and signalled this
With lots of kicks.
Some people live for eighty years
Without even changing their mind.
In eight months you changed our world.
I know what true happiness feels like
It feels like a kick in your tummy.
With Love xxx
When you feel you miss me most,
As years go drifting by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love can never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not got alone,
For the father sent his angels,
To gently take me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Keep my love deep within your heart,
And with the the warmth of every memory,
We will never be apart.
xxxx
