My friend Janine...

I haven't posted for nearly a month. I've been busy with children, writing assignments, MSLC meetings and the usual of lifes ups and downs...

Every now and then something happens that stops you in your tracks, and makes you wake up to what you have in life.

My friend Janine gave birth to her little boy Jamie on Monday 9th July at 12.30pm.

He had an osoephagheal atresia and the surgeons operated that night. The operation was not a success, they were not able to sew together the two pieces of tube as the stitches kept coming apart.

He also needed heart surgery which took place two days later. Surgery was only supposed to last for a couple of hours, but it turned into twelve, and sadly this operation couldn't help Jamie either.

Jamie died at 10.35pm on Thursday July 12th.

He was three days old.

Campaign to stop formula advertising

My life before children, and my life now are joining up!

Whilst wearing my Graphic-Designer-Hat-Pre-Babies, I worked for Save the Children... and they are now joining forces with NCT and UNICEF on the never ending battle with formula advertising. Good on you SCF!

Not quite sure about the animation tho'... Little Jack's breastfeeding position seems a little odd, and it seems he can feed through his Mum's dress... but still the message is what counts!
