Another usually busy week ... busy at home, busy at school, busy busy at work; but all is good until some sad news yesterday ...
My husband's cousin & his wife were awaiting the birth of their baby girl (had already found out the baby's sex) in approx 3 months time. We spent last Saturday night with them at a family doo and as well as our chatting about her less than easy pregnancy, her very swollen feet & ankles and looking so exhausted was obvious. She was telling us that doctors were monitoring closely due to symptoms of pre-eclampsia.
On Thursday, her symptoms became quite serious and she was hospitalised for treatment; however, on Thursday night everything went "pear shaped" and this ended with an emergency caeser (sp?).
Sadly, their little Lara Jane was without oxygen for approx 17 mins and whilst they were able to resucitate her and keep her stabilised with a life support machine, her short little life ended at 1pm yesterday.
Events like this make you step off that busy roller coaster ride called life, even if just for a moment, and realise how lucky we are for all the good things.
On a different note, this weekend is planned to be totally non-eventful ... i am trying hard to not have to "do this, be there, get that" .... so .... this means some spare time for scrapbooking !!!!
I finished this LO of our family day out on Blake's 3rd Birthday ... sooo cute, feels like such a long time ago .. sigh !!
More to come ....
Have a great weekend everyone.

Oh no - my heart goes out to your family - I suffered pre-eclampsia with my boys and i know how serious it can get very quick - I wish it had been a much happier outcome for them.
Your LO looks awesome Julie - kids grow up way too fast dont they!
