Story

On the 13th of April 2014 I gave birth to a little boy Theo Gabriel Bailey Lawson who was born asleep weighing 10oz and 20cm from head to toe. The entire situation was deemed inevitable by medical professionals yet I continued with the pregnancy. 

I can't explain why I continued. Perhaps I just didn't want to give up the hope and dreams that I had for him. I blogged his entire story and the struggle that we faced almost alone. Should you wish to read our story to make a decision to sponsor us you can find it at http://pregnancyisnotaproblem.blogspot.co.uk/

I am proud of my experience and together through Theo's story we have helped people make decisions about their pregnancy when their own children's lives have hung in the balance. Some have even gone on to have healthy babies after our Strength and Bravery helped them find their own. 

So please sponsor us all I want is for a moment Theo to be remembered. After all every life no matter how brief has the power to change to world.

Theo was not quite like other boys; but he was afraid at last. A tremor ran through him, like a shudder passing over the sea; but on the sea one shudder follows another till there are hundreds of them, and Theo felt just the one. Next moment he was standing erect on the rock again, with that smile on his face and a drum beating within him. It was saying, "To die will be an awfully big adventure." 
A scan Theo Gabriel Bailey Lawson had no heartbeat. He was born asleep on April 13th weighing 10oz. At least I know that I gave him every chance and his soul left this earth knowing that I loved him with everything I am and everything that I am yet to be. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
