πŸ’™π—™π—Άπ˜ƒπ—²πŸ’™ Five years ago my whole world was turned upside down. My eyes were opened to a world I never knew existed. One where a baby you have grown nearly full term can suddenly arrive 5 weeks early and die. Five years ago Jason was born. I gave birth to him, I held him, I talked to him and I rocked him. I spent hours just holding him wishing to see some sort of movement. I never got to hold him alive, he never knew our faces but he was and still is loved more than words could describe. Five years on and I still wonder "what if" and I still feel guilty for not knowing something wasn't right. I'll always feel guilty. As parents our job is to teach our children about the world. As grieving parents we teach the world about our children. π‡πšπ©π©π² 𝐁𝐒𝐫𝐭𝐑𝐝𝐚𝐲 π‰πšπ¬π¨π§ we love and miss you always. πŸ’™ #starsforjason #jasonsfootprints #jasonslegacy #babylossbirthday #babylossmama #babyloss
Being a mum can be a really lonely place and meeting other mummies to share experiences with is something Instagram can help with. Head over to @mammabelle18 to join in with meet a mummy Sunday. The aim is simple, meet more mummies and make friends. It has already helped hundreds of mummies connect β™₯️
πŸ’œπ˜Ύπ™§π™žπ™¨π™₯π™žπ™š π˜Ύπ™–π™ π™šπ™¨πŸ’œ It's such a strange feeling knowing tomorrow is your sons 5th birthday but also knowing he isn't here to celebrate. It's the first year we aren't able to have a day out in his memory and go somewhere he would have enjoyed too. I haven't even been able to buy a bunch of daffodils which I have done since his 1st birthday. All these things aren't much but when you can't spoil your children with love and presents then you do what you can. Today me and Ellie made rice crispie cakes and I savoured the moment of pure happiness knowing this was all she could do for her big brother. Five minutes later she had a tantrum over me needing the toilet.

β€οΈπŸ…’πŸ…£πŸ…πŸ…‘πŸ…’ πŸ…•πŸ…žπŸ…‘ πŸ…™πŸ…πŸ…’πŸ…žπŸ…β€οΈ Every year I do something to share Jason's story and to celebrate his birthday, usually I leave a few RAOK around our town but due to us all being on lock down and the virus I can't do this so I'm asking 𝗬𝗒𝗨 for help! I am asking everyone who can to take part in Stars For Jason - this can be in any way you choose. You could take a picture of the stars, draw a star or even get creative! I'd love to see what people come up with. Post a picture of your star π—§π—Όπ—Ίπ—Όπ—Ώπ—Ώπ—Όπ˜„ (29th March) & use the hashtag #starsforjason and help make his 5th birthday one we will remember ❀️ #babyloss #babylossbirthday #jasonsfootprints #jasonslegacy #birthdaysafterloss #deathanniversary #starsforjason #motherhood #therealitiesofparenthood #lifeafterbabyloss #lifeafterloss #iam1in4 #angelmummy #angelmum #mychildexisted #babylosssucks
πŸ’œπ™‡π™šπ™©π™©π™šπ™§π™¨ 𝙖𝙣𝙙 π™Žπ™€π™ͺπ™£π™™π™¨πŸ’œ Today's Nursery activity was a simple one but one that Ellie really enjoyed. Hearing and recognising those initial sounds in words can be tricky and I was curious as to what sounds Ellie knew and whether she could hear them. Honestly, this looks like she knew them all, she didn't but half of learning is through modelling so we did it together. Ellie did recognise e for Elmer though and went and found her cat Teddy for c. We used our wonderful wooden animals from @timber.tots and the magnetic letters are from @lovewilko for this activity.

❀️𝘼 π™—π™žπ™© 𝙀𝙛 𝙛π™ͺ𝙣❀️ I'll be ending this lock down 2 stone heavier but my house will be the cleanest it's ever been with both of us home! I may also be a tad bit mental but if you see me talking to myself that's normal ☺️ ⬇️Answers in the comments⬇️ #lockdown #abitoffun #fridaynightfun #commentbelow
