About
Born in NZ but moved here to Australia when I was 4. Lived on the Gold Coast, Australia most of my life. Met the other half of me and married him (S) in 2001. We had been trying to have a baby for over 4 years (IVF – oh what fun) and were lucky enough to get pregnant last year (6th cycle). I had our little angel Zak on the 15th May 06. He was only with us for 3 days but those 3 days made us both parents.
They were 3 sad days but they were also 3 days we were so lucky to have.
Zak now has a sister. Georgia was born at 35 weeks on 27th June 2008. We are now trying for number 3! This is my story about dealing with the loss of our beautiful boy while moving forward and appreciating how lucky we are to have been given another chance with a live, healthy ‘little person’.

Hi,
Thanks for you kind words and I am so very sorry Zak is not with you today. How funny that I would find a “local gal” on the internet and not via a support group or something..
I believe you are preganant again..how far along..congrats and I am sending heaps of good vibes ..down logan way to you.
I will keep an eye on your blog and hope you take care of yourself.
