In May 2008, I gave birth to my second daughter, Iris. She died while I was in early labour. I started writing when we started trying to have another baby. My son, Moe, was born in June ’09. My eldest, Ava, was 19 months when Iris was stillborn.
We love you too, although such fond words coming from someone claiming to love boogie beebies taints it slightly! Blow up a ball…make yourself small its time for Boogie Beebies.
You are, we are, all the new parents are very lucky although sometimes for all of us it is completely impossible to see thats why we should all work hard to help to give each other perspective and your words here and there are a comfort.

I am touched to read about your journey and challenges. As a mother my heart aches and tightens causing tears. I’ve met several brave women like you who have lost little ones. I’m sending you one big SOUL HUG.
hi Jess… liked reading some of your blog this morning and thanks again for having us all to stay.. love xaxa x
I followed you here from a comment at Deer Baby. Your writing is achingly beautiful. I want to say I’m sorry for the loss of your baby girl, but I’m aware that sounds glib. Believe me when I say it isn’t. From one mother to another, I am sending you much love.
I followed you here from Twitter. If Rachael says your writing is beautiful, I’m here to read and get to know you! I’m sorry about Iris, this must have changed your life immensely
i’m trying to work out how to follow you, i’m not that smart x
You have a beautiful way about you, I can tell it by reading your words. You are doing your daughter proud, dont doubt that for a second.
I lost my two month old son in 2010. In 2011, I had a daughter. Her name is also Iris. I wish you had been able to get to know your Iris. I am sorry.
