A poem I wrote for our girls ...

[Guest guest]

Christmas this year

Its Christmas time, a time to care

But this years Christmas, our pain we'll have to bare.

For this years Christmas, should have been

Our first with our girls, for this we were so keen.

On Christmas day, amongst all the cheer

We'll be thinking of our babies, and wishing they were near.

We'll celebrate Christmas, for our little boy

He keeps us strong; he is our hearts pure joy.

On Christmas morning, we'll wake from our sleep

We'll go to the cemetery, and for both of you we'll weep.

For Christmas this year, we'll imagine if you'd stayed

How wonderful our lives would be, then the thoughts will just fade.

Christmas in heaven, we know will be great

We send you our love; a love that'll never abate.

For now on at Christmas, two new stars will shine bright

They'll be our two little angels, twinkling throughout the night.

Each and every Christmas, we'll think of you up above

We'll send you sweet and loving thoughts, and lots and lots of love.

To Paige and Amy

With love always

Abdominal Cerclage placed 2 Dec 2003 – now to TTC.

Matt 20 mths – emergency vag/cerl 24 wks, 11 weeks bed rest then

delivered 35 wks PROM and cord prolapse.

Paige and Amy – preventative vag/cerl 14 wks, delivered alive 20 wks,

passed away short time later wrapped in my arms.

Babies were suffering from chronic Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome

(TTTS). Unsure whether I/C, TTTS or infection caused contractions,

which resulted in cervix dilating and stitch to fail.
