It's been 6 years since my baby was took from me, and I feel now I am strong enough to finally tell my story and raise awareness for group B strep. On the 20/07/2011 this day would be the day my world changed forever.. 

On the 16th July 2011 I welcomed my first baby into the world Maisie-Leigh Nunley at weighing 6lb"11oz she was perfect, I remember I couldn't stop staring at her and couldn't get over the fact she was all mine. I had a temperature in labour so they kept me in to make sure everything was ok. I remember her daddy not wanting to leave us I could tell he was so in love with her already, everything seemed surreal it was everything I always wanted. The next morning Brandon, Maisie's dad was up the hospital first thing because I was told me and baby was fine to go home. I had the nursery all ready for her it was fit for a princess, I couldn't wait to get her home. It was just me, Brandon and Maisie-Leigh for our first night, we couldn't wait for everyone to come see her, I picked her outfit out all ready for the next day I just wanted to show her off my perfect princess. We had all our family and friends visit us at home bringing gifts and all wanting to have there first cuddle with Maisie-Leigh. After everyone left I noticed Maisie-Leigh was bringing up her milk and she wouldn't settle, I was concerned so I rang the midwife.. she assured me everything would be ok and she is just getting used to her new surroundings, but she come to the house to check on her as well, When she arrived she checked her over and told me everything was fine and I was panicking and needed to try stay calm and relax. when she fell asleep we put her in her Moses basket in our room and tried to get some sleep ourselves, she would wake up every 2 hours and was just unsettled, she finally went to sleep, the next morning Brandon lent over to check on her in her Moses basket and picked her up, she was limp and unresponsive but still warm... we rang the ambulance in a panic .. The ambulance arrived within minutes and said her heart had stopped .. it was that moment everything felt like it was in slow motion. The paramedics performed cpr on her and got her heart beat started again. And we was rushed to hospital. The next 24hours was the worst 24hours of my whole life.. they took her into the special care baby unit. And we had to wait outside, all I remember is seeing blue doors, when we finally got to see her she was in an incubator on a life support machine, they told us the next 24hours was critical. We stayed by her side for 24 hours with every bit of hope she would respond but it was to late, we had to turn the machine off and say goodbye to our princess. On the 20/7/11

I wanted to tell my story because I feel that group b strep needs to be made more aware to all pregnant ladies, I will never forget the pain I have been through and will never forget my perfect princess. If I can help save a baby's life by raising awareness to this I will feel like my baby wasn't taken for no reason. 

Please share and help raise as much money as we can so they can do more research in trying to prevent this horrible unnecessary infection that causes so much pain..

So to raise this money .. i will be facing one of my biggest fears and doing a skydive .. I am terrified of flying let alone jumping out of a plane ✈️ But I will be doing this on her birthday 16/July/2018 so I will feel like I'm with her..

Her dad is also going to jump out of a plane to support and raise some more money for this charity ..
