Dear Mommy,
Before we said our first hello,
the time had already passed.
For when you held me in your arms,
I had gone to heaven to rest.
I felt angelic tears down my cheeks,
and I watched you as you weeped. ...

CALEB MATTHEW ROY BROOK
One saturday morning in the middleof march 2006 was the morning i took the pregnancy test,i kind of had an idea i was pregnant but after doing a test a few months before i wasnt holding much hope.So there i went up to the bathroom, pregnancy test in hand my partner kev and daughter were down stairs having no idea what was going to happen next,it said to wait five minutes but i was very eager to find out the result so i picked it up to see only one blue line showing, thne there it was the second line appeared,OH MY GOD I DONT BELIEVE IT! i thought, me and kev wanted this so much i walked down stairs to reveal the good news they were both so happy leah started to jump around, alittle brother or sister just what she wanted.Kev started to ring round his family to share with them the good news, he could,nt wait to be a dad.
The next nine months were exciting and worrying at times,feeling his first kick was wonderful, leah and kev were always putting their hands on my belly to feel him,and he always seem to know when daddy got home from work as he would wake up and start to jump about inside me when he heard his voice.Everything was going great, we went for my 21 weeks scan which as the day we found out we were having a boy, we were so excited CALEB MATTHEW ROY BROOK he was to be called we showed his photo to everyone we knew and started to get prepared for the new addition to our family.
Then halfway through my pregnancy i started to bleed, i,d had a little bleed right in the early stages which was nothing to worry about but this was more than then,i had to go into hospital to have a scan to found out the reason behind it we were worried but tried not to panic, the consultant came to see us and explained that caleb was doing fine and he couldnt see any reason for the bleeding i was told to go home and just take it easy, what a relief!.The weeks went by and i grew bigger suffering from the usual heartburn ,sickness and strange cravings in the middle of the night,then when i was 30 weeks i started to bleed again this time i had to stay in hospital for 2 nights to be monitored, the doctor told me that i was to have steroid injections to progress calebs lungs just in case i was to bleed anymore and they had to perform an emergany ceaserean, things calmed down so they let me go home,again.
At my antenatal appoinment at 37 weeks the midwife was listening to calebs heartbeat to discover it was very erratic and said it sounded life he could be in distress,and said not worry but she referred me straight to the hospital to be monitored properly,not to worry she said thats was easy for her to say it was one thing after another surely they will get him out now i thought, but no i came home again that night to be told they were happy with what they saw, i was abit confused but was just happy that my baby was doing good and that he would be with us shortly.It was now getting very close to my due date 31st october, we were prepared and very excited we couldnt wait to have our son at home with his new family, then the friday morning just before i was due i started to have pains and bleed again i thought i was hanving contractions but was concerned about the bleeding i rung the hospital and explained the situation and the history of my pregnancy, i was due in four days and expected them to tell me to go in afterall thats what they said they would do, but no iwas told it could be slow labour and to see how it went, so that weekend we just sat and waited i kept getting calls and texts off friends and family to ask if he had arrived yet but nothing much was happening,that was until the monday morning 30th october, it was about 6 in the morning when i woke up in pain this is it i thought hes finally coming, the contraction were about 15 mins apart so i knew i had abit of time i woke leah up and told her what was happening she was so excited and didnt want to go to school but i explained to her that she had to go and when she got home that day she would be able to hold her baby brother so off she went with a big smile on her face,by this time it was 9,oclock my contractions were now 10 mins apart we got my bag together and rung the hospital at last they wanted me him im not coming home this time without him.
We didnt have a car so my neighbour had kindly offered to take us, my pains suddenly got alot worse and started to have contractions every few mins i fell to the floor in agony kev was asking me to get up so we colud get in the car but i just couldnt the pain was too much they rung for an ambulance by this time i was screamingout in pain there was no way caleb was going to wait i needed to push, michelle my neighbour laid a cover on the floor and got some towels and told me to crawl onto it and she would deliver him as we didnt have time to wait i was so scared his was not the way we had planned this and my pain was so unbarable i thought i was going to die,just then the paramedics turned up they examined me and said i wasnt dilated and were very concerned about the bleeding and the pains across my stomach they put me in the ambulance and then the midwife turned up she examined me and told me caleb was breech thats why i was in so much pain and that when i got to hospital they would be giving me a c- section i was terrified and it complete agony but i knew that if i coyld just hold out for a few more minutes i would soon be introduced to my son.When we arrived they were all waiting for me i was put on the bed and my legs put in stirrups, whats going on, i said , ive been told my baby is breech and tat im having an ceaserean, the docor then turned round and said that he wasnt breech and that he is coming right now and i needed to push what was going on!I gave 3 huge pushesjust to get this pain over and done with kev was being really supportive and telling me not to panic and that caleb was on his way and with i gave one more huge push and i felt him come out i just laid back in total relief that the pain was gone i turned to kev and smiled, they picked caleb up and took him to be checked to make sure he was ok me and kev just sat ther with massive grins on our faces knowing that our son was finally her, then it hit me, hold on i thought,ihavent heard him cry why wasnt he crying now i was panicing kev kept reasurring me but it wasnt working i was screaming because i knew this wasnt right,then there it was, that look on all their faces,the one where you know what they are going to say before they even open their mouths, we are so sorry she said, but caleb hasnt made it,from that moment our lives have changed forever and unless you have mbeen through the same thing then you have no idea how i felt and i dont even think there are words to describe the pain,we were given caleb to hold and family and friends came to see him, kev had to ring round everyone to give them the news but it wasnt the news the were expecting i still dont know how he did it he was so strong,we had him blessed at hospital and then we had to go home and leave him one of the hardest things i have ever done.the next day we had to explain to leah what had happened she was very brave we visited him in the chapel of rest where he looked so peaceful surrounded by teddies from family and friends, tha funeral was the worst day of my life i dont even know how i got through it,its now 5 months on since we lost caleb and although the days are easier to deal with the pain still hurts the same,caleb has made such an impact to our lives there is not a day that goes by i dont think about him i hold his blanket from the hospital to make me feel close to him and look at his photos to see how beautiful our baby boy really was,thank you for having the time to read calebs story and hope you agree that are little boy is now an angel,a beautiful angel up there in heaven and one day our family will be reunited forever x x x xcalebs mummy, love you son x |
