weighed 4lbs 12oz. Callan has a twin brother Alexander James who was born at 02.52 weighing 5lbs

It is with much heartache Callan was taken from us after just 26 mins & is now sleeping with the
angel's looking over us.

Callan you never got to grace the world with your beauty but you still managed to touch so many
peoples hearts in a really big way and we will all make sure that you will never be forgotten.

R.I.P SON - WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH x x x

After a fairly uneventful 37 weeks with twins I had my waters broken at 9am on Thur 15th Nov, all
going well we thought our twins will be here within hours!!!

I was very slow to progess in labour, and although we didn't know till afterwards my first twin
(Callan) was showing signs of destress his heartbeat was slow to recover, however as the threatre
was full at our hospital there was nothing could be done, I just had to "hang on in there"


About midnight my doctor done fetal blood sample (4 times) however the machine didn't work
!!!!

After another 2 hours I was moved to threatre & Callan was born naturally, he was taken right
away however this was something we knew would happen with twins, so I never got to see him, infact
at first nobody including the doctor that delivered him even knew if he was a boy or girl !!! he had
to get someone to go check.

After a while my doctor advised me he was going to deliever twin 2 by c-section, I begged him not
too, and asked my husband to tell him no, however at that point my husband told me it was too late,
they had already cut me open.(This time my husband saw it was a boy)

After a few mins my midwife carried a beautiful boy towards me, and said "Nichola, this is twin
2" My heart sunk, something in my head told me twin 1 (Callan) had died, I asked her if this is
twin 2 where is twin 1, she said nothing, she didn't have to, the look on her face said it all,
I screamed please don't tell me he is died, she just said I'm so sorry!!!

My second twin (Alexander) was taken right away as he need help with his breathing, Callan was
handed to me, and looked so perfect, I'll never forget that moment.

Even now it's such a bitter sweet time, it breaks my heart people telling me I'm lucky at
least I still had one baby to bring home, guess that's true, but people forget Callan was my
first son, and I shoud have been bring home two sons.

When I grief for Callan I feel bad for Alexander his mummy is sad, but if I don't I feel Callan
will be looking down on me being all happy & think I have forgotten him.

"Callan" without you no day will ever be perfect ~ Miss you so much love Mummy, Daddy
& Alexander x x x
