When I am pregnant I normally try not to focus on my due date. After all only a small number of babies are born on their due date and I in particular tend to have pregnancies that are slighty longer than average. But for the 2 babies that are not with us, the date passes with a sad reminder that there is someone missing who should be being born or having a birthday.
I planned to go to the baby garden at the crematorium today as the chaplain who did Elisha's burial service said the garden is a lot nicer in summer than in february and Elisha's due date seemed like a good day to do it. But we all have colds, Malachi to the extent that he was being nebulised yesterday so we will leave that for another time.
My life with 5 children, all with special needs. 2 with mobility issues, 1 premmie with health issues, a cuddly miracle baby and an eccentric livewire on the spectrum
I'm Sophie, married to Simon and mum to Jeremiah (10), Isaac (8), Malachi (5), Ezekiel (3) and Zechariah (2). Also our 2 little ones in heaven, Eleanor (2005) and Elisha (2011).
Jeremiah has Autism.
Isaac has hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers Danlos type 3 and uses a wheelchair for anything other than very short distances.
Malachi has hypermobility and wears piedro boots to support his ankles
Ezekiel has a cleft palate, hydrocephalus, hypotonia and development delay
Zechariah was born with sepsis and has mild development delay.
