Last week I did a couple of layouts that were difficult for me. They tell a difficult story, the pictures didn't necessarily match the paper choice but I wanted those papers so I tried to make them work.

| wish for one day at a time journalling reads: Only 1 week after the Sipap incident where you had a seizure we were back in Childrens ward. We thought it was apnoea but after 24hr EEG they confirmed seizure activity. Terrifying, horrifying seeing you deal with that many and not be able to touch or comfort you. But at least now we could medicate. |
I like the result. I like the fact that I finished the layouts. I like that part of her story has been told and I can move on to more cheery cheeky parts of her story....like this morning when I was changing her nappy. I lifted her legs only for her to blow....unceremoniously....and then laugh at me as if she intended the vile event all along whilst waiting for me to comply.
Most weeks in our house there are tears of sadness at some point, but they are far far outweighed by the belly laughs that she inspires on a daily basis. Those are the pages that I can't wait to get started on...

you brave woman. I had to click on the page to read the journaling, how scary for a little one to have sasures and there is nothing "mom" can do. Take care and you are in my thoughts Happy WOYWW! Lindsay #95

Thank you for sharing these moments with us all, So pleased you've managed to document them!
Caroline, I'm glad you were able to get the story down, as difficult as it must have been, and that you used the papers you wanted to use. Sorry to hear about the diaper-changing experience -- as much as I miss the baby days in some ways, I don't miss things like that. lol Happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting me. ~ Laura # 115

Thank you for sharing such a personal layout. I have been meaning to tackle some of my own but sadness overwhelms me and I put if off.
Thanks for stopping by my site today.
I hope your little one continues to bring you blessings.

Goodness she looks like a weeny early baby! So glad that she is home and giving you fun stuff too. Lindsay at The Frugal Crafter did a recent tutorial with making your own Glimmer Mist type things.
It is wonderful to tell this part of the story as it is the basis for what follows. Wishing you well!

well done on being able to scrap that hard part of the story. Bless you
