Summer mania ..

Its been a few weeks since my last post . Picking up where I left off , our prayers were answered. Poppy grew stronger and fought back hard and is home with her family where she belongs. Our lovely friend next door didnt suffer for long and she was taken from us peacefully and swiftly in her sleep . The following week friends and family gathered to pay their respects to a wonderful lady who touched so many lives.
Feeling so emotionally drained nothing could have been better for the heart and soul than joining our friends from special kids in the uk for a week of camping in Shrewsbury.
Words cant really describe the support that is felt from each and every family at camp. 

The day before camp another prayer was answered.  In feb this year I miscarried twins , although the babies weren't planned they were instantly very much loved. Losing them made me realise that my new partner and I perhaps could have a child of our own something I didnt really know if it would even be possible. No one really seemed to have all the answers. Weeks passed and I discovered I was pregnant again . Scared to hope we waited , expecting the worst again . On Aug 2nd we went to the hospital and were thrilled to see a healthy 13wk baby on the scanner screen.  Now at just over 16wks my bump is growing nicely , my back is holding up so far and doctor and midwife are confident that all could run smoothly. We couldnt be happier .

Theres alot to think about for us all for the future. My children are going to have a new half sister or brother and right now the babies father doesnt even live with us! 
The overall feeling from every one around us is that whatever the difficulties we face ,we have been blessed with a new life to join our family, we can never have too many people to love and to love us in return
