Today would have been Oscar's 10th birthday if he had lived. He was such a beautiful baby despite everything. I had the pregnancy from hell with him with my waters breaking at 23 weeks which meant a 7 week stay in hospital untill he was finally born at 30 weeks. He was also very very ill when born but despite that he was a fighter and came home in July 8 weeks later. Sadly however, his left lung was left weakened by the pneumothorax he was born with, something we wouldn't know about untill he died that December of pneumonia of the left lung. Losing him was the single most devastating thing I have ever endured and I have endured ALOT in my life though I am not going to go on about all of that. This entry is about Oscar.
He was such a beautiful baby. My bump name for him was Boris. I have named all my bumps, it helps me bond with the baby within. When he was in special care he used to make a squeaking noise before his oxygen sats went down setting off the alarms. I called him Squeakydoo because of that and the SCBU nurses even joked about putting him in the naughty corner because he kept doing it. When I asked then how he had been overnight each morning when I went in they they would say he was just being Oscar.
When he was home, he was great! He did everything he was supposed to do and I will forever treasure those 6 months that he lived. I have his ashes on my computer desk along with a tiny cat that I bought him while in hospital. I called the cat Crookshanks as I was reading Harry Potter to him and that was the name of Hermione's cats in the books.
RIP Ocsar. I love you so much my beautiful son! Sweet dreams.
