Unfortunately our Daughter Oceana was a stillborn and was born on the 17/07/07! It was a shock to all of us. I had a feeling things werent the best a week before i found out she had passed away. She only made it to 18wks gestation! The day i found out was horrible! Ill never forget the feelings that i got when they told me she had gone. I felt like the whole lot of me had gone. We found out on the 14th July that she had passed, one week after our other daughter Alethea's first birthday! So i got booked into hospital on the monday to be induced. The whole experience was horrible and i hope to never go through it again. I was in labour for 12hours and she was born at 7.45am on tuesday. I was a bit hesitant in seeing her at first due to not knowing how she would look, but im so glad i did. She was so beautiful and looked so peaceful! We held her for an hour and then they took our beautiful bub away. It was so hard to let her go, i wanted to be with her. We left hospital on the wednesday and that was another hard day. It was so difficult leaving the hospital with no baby in our arms. The first night at home i couldnt sleep, i was so upset about the whole thing. We had her funeral last thursday on 26/07/07. I had been dreading this day for the whole week. I thought i would be ok but i wasnt. Just looking at the grave was not fair. The service was just so lovely, it was done so well and im very greatful to the minister for his compassion. When my husband had to place her in the grave was the hardest thing i had to watch. I just broke down i couldnt believe this was happening to us. I must admit though i feel a bit better now. I think its sort of closure that she has been laid to rest, im not sure. It will never take away the pain that we are both going through though. I wanted to do this site to remember her and to recognise that she is an important part of our family. Even though she had a short life she will always be apart of our family and will always be loved and missed. We love you our little princess!!! Please feel free to look through the albums and sign the guestbook!
