Our son, Alexander.

After finding ourselves pregnant we decided to wait untill the 12wk scan before announcing our news to the world. Initially surprised we became more excited at becoming a mummy and daddy again and started to make plans, choose names and enjoy being pregnant!

At the 12 wk scan it was found that our baby had an omphalocele. Whilst serious, this could be fixed after birth through surgery we were told that children with omphaloceles are also highly likely to have a chromosone abnormality. Our joy turned to heartbreak.

The weeks passed. We waited for tests to be done and for the results to come back. Meanwhile, our bump grew bigger, and I started to feel our precious baby moving. I talked to our baby 'Wiggle', I told him i loved him and would try to make him better.

Finally,the test results confirmed that our little baby had Edwards syndrome (T18) a fatal chromosonal abnormality. After further scans we knew that our little one would not survive birth. We made a heartbreaking decision, to interrupt the pregnancy and say goodbye to our baby early. No decision any parent would want to make. We made the decision to prevent our son from suffering pain. We made the decision out of love.

On the 29th Sept 2008 at 10.45pm,after a 12hr labour, our beautiful son Alexander was born in to heaven. Ten tiny toes, ten tiny fingers. Alexander was perfect, we held him, kissed him, talked to him, stared in awe at his beauty and perfection.
Alexander spent all night and all day with his mummy and daddy. The hardest thing was to walk away from the hospital leaving our precious baby son behind.

On the 7th October we had a funeral for Alexander. We read poems, we played music. It was a beautiful service. On the 9th October we interred Alexanders ashes and he now rests with his nannie and great-nannie.


Our little boy we dreamt of meeting, so tiny, so precious, and to us totally perfect, became an Angel and will always be in our hearts.

Just For A While - by Bette Buckle

Just for a while you had a shining dream,
Then darkness fell.
All around you, sadness and despair.
No light to guide you, no laughter there.

Just for a while I was your hopes fulfilled.
Then hope was gone.
My soul released from its tiny shell
Saw your tears and caught them as they fell.

I heard your voices, sweet and warm,
I felt you touch and stoke my tiny form.
Like a butterfly that lives and dies in just one day,
I left the world and gently flew away.

Just for a while I touched your lives with joy,
And then with pain.
But don’t be sad and grieve each coming year,
Just hold each other close and say
"Just for a while - Our child was here"
