I found out i was pregnant with our first baby on 12th august 2007,it was the happiest day of our
lives-i took 3 pregnancy tests to make sure i wasnt dreaming!!! was so so excited-we couldnt believe
we had got pregnant on the first try-we felt so lucky. all our appointments went great and our baby
was healthy and well. i loved feeling every movement-and my constantly growing belly! we were so
excited and so so happy.

but at 27 weeks everything changed......
daniel constantly kicked me and i loved seeing my belly move everytime he did, it was the most
amazing feeling,but he hadnt seemed to kick me for while-so we went to the hospital to check he was
ok. the midwife listened in and we heard the heartbeat-and she told us everything was fine-he had
just got less room now-and had probably turned round so i couldnt feel kicks anymore. we was
relieved,and went home smiling. although i missed him kicking me-we didnt worry too much-as we had
heard his heartbeat and was told it was fine-so we thought this was just normal.
another few days passed-and we decided to go in again-just to check. we had to go to the delivery
suite-and the midwifes were really busy.the midwife who ended up seeing me made me feel really
guilty about wasting her time, and sighed and huffed a lot.it took her a while to find the heart
beat and my heart sank as the look on her face changed. eventually she found the heartbeat and again
she made me feel really silly,like i was over reacting. telling me to stop worrying.so again-we went
home and tried not to worry. but this time i couldnt-something just wasnt right-i didnt feel the
same-i just didnt "feel" pregnant anymore.

the next time we went to the hospital was 29weeks. and that was the day our whole world fell apart.

the midwife again took a long time in finding the heartbeat, i was so worried. she said we had to go
for a scan,my heart dropped.
i KNEW something wasnt right.i was so scared to find out something might be wrong with our baby.
we waited for the scan for what felt like a lifetime, i heard midwifes whispering and i just wanted
to get in the room and see my little baby moving around and be told it everything was ok.
nothing could prepare me for the next few minutes.
as soon as i saw our baby on the screen i just knew. his heart was still.but even so the words that
followed felt like a knife right through my heart "im sorry but your baby has no heartbeat".
i knew something was wrong,but i NEVER anticipated that.how could my baby have died inside me and i
didnt know. the guilt of this will never leave me.
i cant describe the immence pain of knowing that i had lost our baby, i had failed him, he had
stopped living inside me.
we had lost our baby forever and our whole world had changed in the space of 30 seconds.

the hours and days surrounding this time are somewhat of a blur. i was induced and gave birth to our
beautiful baby boy on 7th feb 08.

we have since found out that i had caught a common infection called parvovirus, this passed to
daniel, and caused hydrops. the chances of the infection passing to daniel and being fatal was 1%.
we were just so very very unlucky. he was taken against all odds.

we now know the love that people describe when they have their babies-but we have this love-and no
baby here to give it to. we were just so proud to meet our little boy, he is everything we could
have ever dreamed and more. we just cant believe we will never see him again-we will never hold him
again.it is the worst pain we have ever felt.he should be here with us.we just want our boy back.

He is very much loved by a lot of people who all share our pain, but have been a tremendous
support.
we wanted to set up this site to share our story and tell everyone about our beautiful baby daniel.
our first born child we are so proud.
beloved son of kirsty and richard,
great grandson to rita and pauline,
grandson to jo,david,ann and gary,
nephew to davey,emma,clare,kelly and darren.

Daniel's middle name is in memory of my late best friend, she was tragically taken but always in our
hearts. please visit her site and light a candle for a very special and beautiful girl. jayne
heather williams.We know daniel is safe in your arms.

our love for you will never change.
you may not be in our arms-but you will always be in our hearts.
sleep tight little man,all our love,mummy and daddy xxx

THEY SAY THERE IS A REASON,THEY SAY THAT TIME WILL HEAL,
BUT NEITHER TIME NOR REASON,WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE FEEL,
FOR NO ONE KNOWS THE HEARTACHE THAT LIES BENEATH OUR SMILES,
NO ONE KNOWS THE MANY TIMES WEVE BROKEN DOWN AND CRIED,
WE WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,SO THERE WILL BE NO DOUBT,
YOURE SO WONDERFUL TO THINK ABOUT,BUT SO HARD TOO LIVE WITHOUT

4 all my loved ones

You cannot see or touch me
But I'm standing next to you.
Your tears will only hurt me,
Your sadness makes me blue.
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through.
I love you from a different place,
Yet I'm standing next to you.XXXXX

Janet Tiffin September 30, 2009

Oh Danny Boy

Hey hey Mr, I am just going to talk to you like you are here as I know you watch us anyway. I just looked through your pictures of when you were born and felt comfort as I really feel you here. You will always be part of us and you will always be remembered. You never made it to earth but I know we'll meet one day - in a better place. You are my first nephew and I love you lots. Kerry asks of you too, you're her first 'boy cousin'! You have got such a cheeky face, I just know you're entertained by us up there and your little sister knows you are watching her too... your mum and dad miss you and are doing really well and I know you are proud of them. We love you lots and lots, God bless x x x x x x
