Things have been quite chaotic around the house this week. We’re still in the middle of trying to sort out the contents of the spare room and finish putting together Sophie’s room.

We spent Thomas’s first week at home together, enjoying being in a newborn bubble. When we finally ventured out and about with him, there was one place we had to go to first. We had to take him to GreenAcres to visit his big sister in her forever bed.     Thomas’s arrival has brought… Read More

A double rainbow over houses - "#365daysofgratitude"

For the last two years, I have taken part in a daily gratitude challenge – sharing one photo a day on Instagram of something I am grateful for. It’s taught me to look for the little things and has made me a more positive person. It has not always been easy to find something to… Read More

Friday Focus 03/08/18 – A bittersweet first week

03/08/201802/08/2018
The word "bittersweet" with doodles of Jessica and Thomas

I can’t quite believe that baby Thomas is a week old already. This past week has been an incredibly bittersweet one. Thomas has brought us so much joy but there has been so much sadness too and we have missed our big girl so very much this week.     From a grief perspective, it… Read More

Thomas’s birth story: a planned home breech birth

Baby Thomas wrapped in a towel

I was woken by the sudden gush of fluid as my waters broke. It was 2:46am – the time that Jessica had died. It felt significant that they had broken at this time; a reminder that Jessica was still with us somehow. Sophie was asleep at the bottom end of our bed but hubby’s side… Read More

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
