A life changing experience...

I just wanted to stop by and write a little about what has happened in the last 12 months. After loosing Sprout we took a lenghty break until November 2012 before doing another cycle of IVF. We were so blessed to find out we were expecting and went about preparing for our little person in our lives. The pregnancy started with a lot of concern as I bled quite heavily but as time went on things seemed to be settling down and we passed each ultra sound with flying colours. Unfortuenately just before 21 weeks I was admitted to hospital with my cervix dilated prematurely to 5cm. I spent 2 and a half weeks on bed rest, but in the end there was nothing that could be done to stop my labour, and our Son Hugo Michael Foote came into this world on the 01.04.2013 at 9:35pm. He breathed and moved.... he lived- the most incredible 2 hours and 25 mins of my life, until he flew with the angels. To say the last 6 weeks has been difficult is to say the least. A heartbreaking and terrifying time that came with risk to my own health, and defnitley the mental health of my Husband and I. We have set up a new blog in memory of little Hugo and hope his life will have a ripple effect on others. We aim to focus our attention on helping other families who experience this devastating loss.
