3 yrs and many changes of plans later


Riley it was your birthday on Saturday, we all have made plans of what we wanted to do for your 3rd Angel Birthday. Your sisters wanted Cake, very very important. Daddy and I just wanted to spend the day together as a family, at O'Rielly's National Park (we thought it was fitting).

We started on our journey to O'Rielly's  and the clear sky's turned to rain then turned to real Queensland rain, we couldn't see more then a few metres in front of us. Change of Plans, there was no way that we could drive up the mountains in that weather.

Our lovely picnic that we had packed ended up being eaten in the car.

Our next choice was to go to Timezone to run around like big kids and have some fun. We got stuck in traffic in Surfers Paradise and then we we did find a park it was only for a an hour. Change of Plans

Off to our old faithful Seaworld to have some fun. As soon as we walked in Monique and Poppy wanted to go to Dinosaur Island but as we walked into the attraction a staff member asked us to turn around as it was closing for a show that was about to start.. By this point we just had to laugh...

In the end we had a great day, the highlight of the day was sitting in Shark Bay watching the fish feeding.We must of spent 1/2 an hour in the peace and quite, mesmerised.

On your first Angel birthday we made a promise to your sisters that we would always go out to dinner for your birthday, a family tradition that can be carried on for years. When we initially told them this we imagined going somewhere nice for dinner each year. I imagine going out to dinner with your sisters when they are adults for your birthday. Well last year we ened up at Hungry Jack and we ended up there again this year. I suppose any 3 yr old boy would much prefer a burger at Hungry Jacks then some fancy dinner.

It amazes me that time has gone so very fast but so slow at times also. On your birthday I received a message from one of your Aunties to say ' she can't wait to meet you in the eternities and give you some long over due cuddles'. Riley my boy I know that you will always be my forever baby, I can still feel you against my neck. No matter how many children have been comforted in the same spot over the years it will always be a special spot for you. I love you always.

I started to blog when a became pregnant with Riley and now, it is one of the few things i have to remember him by. We lost our darling little boy on 16th February 2010 at 31 weeks. I had a feeling that something was not right, that he hadn't moved much in the days leading up to his arrival so called the hospital and was told to come straight in to get checked out. I was concerned but thought that everything would be OK. Riley didn't move much or maybe is was that i'm always so busy that i only ever noticed it at night when i went to bed. When i was pregnant with the girls; we would see feet sticking out, so clearly that you could count their toes. This never happened with Riley and I put it down to being a different baby, he never really bothered me much at all. I was much less sick with Riley then i was with the girls that is for sure. I had to carry zip lock bags with me every where with the girls and with Riley I was sick but he always allowed me enough time to get to

Choosing Hope

 An open letter to all As October marks International Pregnancy and Infant loss month it is time for many families to reflect on the impact one little soul has had on their lives even if it has been for such a short time.  In 2010 we were awaiting the arrival of our third baby, our first boy. On the day that we found out Riley was a boy; my husband had a spring in his step as he planned our son’s future sporting career and when would be a good time to retire from local club footy to take on a coaching role. We were so excited and never ever did we expect that our only son would never get to come home with us. We were a busy young family with two girls aged 4 and 2, like any family a new baby brings about much planning, hospital appointments on a weekly basis as my pervious babies arrived a little early and running around being the mum with all hats on at once. We had brought a new house to accommodate the new member of our family, set up his room and washed all his clothes, we
