Well the news article went crazy, a few days later I was called by a news distributer and asked if they could push our story to other papers, I said yes and it went even more crazy! Some of the comments were absolutely vile but a lot of them supported us so many kind words and all of the people who were supporting us also stood up for us against the cruel comments. One woman in particular was very cruel, saying I was disrespecting our baby by sharing photos, that one really hurt but there was no way I was going to stop sharing our story or photos of the baby, we are and always will be proud of all our children, I would love to have photos of the baby alive but unfortunately I wasn’t afforded the opportunity to take them.
Here are the links to all of the online news coverage.

The other great thing that came from Somerset live covering our story was that loads of people came forward to join us in our quest to go bald for baby loss, not all were going completely bald but the more people we could get the better. We now had full head shaves, half head shaves, armpit, leg, back and chest waxing as well as drastic chops (minimum of 8 inches) this meant that we could also donate all of the hair to the little Princess trust, another great charity would benefit from our event! This was amazing, we really felt like we were making a difference, our baby’s story was being shared and we were helping people in our situation.
So many people reached out to us to offer love and support, I’ve made some wonderful friends who have suffered like we have and we all work together to help eachother through our loss. One of the lady’s that contacted me works for a charity called our angel Bears, she sent me a beautiful memory box with a certificate of life, a cloth blanket to wrap the baby in with a little heart pillow and some crocheted bits, a candle and lots of little things. It was so beautiful and kind, I still keep contact with her now and I share a lot of their posts so other people might benefit from the amazing work they do.
