Inghean Donalda Burnett
Wahoo, we are pregnant again, a wee bit of a shock as Savannah was only born three months ago, but
won't it be great to have two babies so close in age, there will only be just over a year between
them.
I had such an uneventful pregnancy, apart from the horrible nine months of morning sickness. At the
twenty week scan we found out we were having another girl, how Savannah would love having a wee
sister to dress up and play with, and poor Dexter, how would he cope with two sisters hormones! We
already had a feeling we were having a girl so we were well pleased! We had already chosen names we
chose Inghean, an Irish Gaelic name meaning image of her mother and Donalda as a tribute to my late
dad, Donald, this again was done in the old Scottish way. Well Savannah's 1st birthday came on the
27/09/06, and we were wiping our brows that our wee bundle didn't come on Savannah's day!
Well two weeks later on the 11th of October 2006 I went for my bath and when I got out I thought
that Briagh our dog had brought something horrid in my bedroom, but how wrong was I! My waters
suddenly went, so I quickly got dressed and called my mum and rang William to get home from work, we
thought we would have hours before Inghean would be born, so when William got home he jumped in the
bath very quickly, while I had a cup of tea, I suddenly got my first contraction, then my second, so
William hurried up and we left for Raigmore, I was getting contractions every few minute, so William
decided to drive fast we managed to get to the Kessock bridge a couple of miles from the hospital,
when I scream the baby is coming, to phone the ambulance, William did without haste!!!!! Well they
took just five minutes to get to us, and I was told to sit put and keep it in, with that I screamed
at William the baby is coming, and Inghean was born with a rush in her daddy's arms! Our perfect
beautiful baby daughter was born at 13.30 on Wednesday the 11th of October 2006, weighing 7lbs 3oz.
We were taken to the labour ward were Inghean and I were given a clean bill of health, I knew
Inghean would be taken for a test at the SCBU unit the next day to check for car seat syndrome
because Savannah had it at ten day old and onwards. Well the next day came and we had bounty photos
taken and we were then taken to SCBU, where after an hour of worry I was told Inghean was at a very
low risk of car seat syndrome, and we could go home! Wow home, that sounded great! Well we all got
home and everything was perfect, it was tiring and hard work, but so very enjoyable being a mum of
three perfect children!
A few days later I was detected to have postpartum hemorrhaging, I was taken to Raigmore again but I
decided to leave as I had suddenly stopped bleeding, anyway I just wanted to be at home. Well
everything was going so very well and Halloween was quickly here, well I dress Dexter as a pirate,
Savannah as a big pumpkin and Inghean as a little pumpkin, all to take masses of photos to send to
Inghean's soon to be God father. Well after I had taken all the photos William took Dexter and
Savannah out guising, and Inghean soon fell asleep in her pram. When they all came back Inghean was
still fast asleep, so William and I put Dexter and Savannah to bed and settled down for the night,
well Inghean woke up and wanted fed, so I fed her but she was so sleepy, I thought it was just
because of the long feeds she had been taken. Well we went to bed quite late after giving Inghean
another feed, Inghean was put down in her wee cradle next to our bed. Well Inghean slept long and
woke up very late she slept for nearly 6 hours, she had never done this, she fed but started to cry
a wee bit when I went to lay her down afterwards, so I laid down with Inghean beside me in bed. She
was soon asleep, I closed my eyes only for a second or two and I just opened them and turned to
William and said 'look Inghean is still asleep' I went to lift her, but she was limp, I screamed,
William jumped he grabbed Inghean and we ran for the phone down stairs, I rang 999, I told William
to get the phone as I would do the CPR, I tried and tried the local doc ran in my house, he tried I
tried the ambulance came they tried and then rushed her to the ambulance, I ran in my pj's. I
thought Inghean was going to be OK as she was in proper care and there was a heart beat, but why did
it keep going to zero? We made the 44 miles to Raigmore in under half an hour thanks to the police
stopping the traffic. Inghean was rushed into A&E and I was taken to a side room, a few minutes
later a doc came in and said the most horrible words any mother could hear, 'I am sorry your
daughter is dead'. What happened next I don't know I felt empty and cold and as if I was dreaming.
The date was Wednesday the 1st of November 2006. A police officer came and got a statement with a
doctor, and a liaison officer came. William and I went to see Inghean, but it wasn't real, my
Inghean couldn't be dead, she was just sleeping, but why was she going cold. The next day William
and I were taken separately with specially trained police officer for statements, they took 6 hours
for William's and a staggering 8 hours for mine, we still had our liaison officer, as Inghean had to
have a post mortem. We got the results of the pm through, Inghean had died of Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome, she fell asleep in my arms. We had a beautiful and very emotional funeral for Inghean on
the 16th of November 2006. It is coming up to a year since Inghean fell asleep, but the pain and
longing is not going away, it is all still so unreal, some days I find myself crying non stop
praying that I wake up and Inghean is still here with us. Dexter asks about his sister every day,
Savannah is still to young to understand, William and I will never get over our precious daughter.
Inghean is eternally laid to rest with her dear Popa, her names sake, I feel safe knowing my dad is
always looking after Inghean and my Grannie and Popa are there beside them always and forever.
An Angel in the book of life
Wrote down my baby's birth
Then she whispered oooh so quietly
To beautiful for earth.

Our eternal baby girl.
Love you so much princess, till we meet again, I am sending you millions of floaty kisses every day.

missing you
It is not the way the order of life should be, a child should not leave this earth before their parents, but sadly this does happen and it leaves a void in our lives that will always be there, I cannot offer you any words that will make things easier or make the pain go away, but perhaps to know that someone who does not know you but who knows how you are feeling is thinking of you and your family with love will help.

You Gave You Took Away - by Sharon Wheeler
As I travel across this land
There is something missing today
It’s my Angel child
The one God took away
He gave me that beautiful child
Then he took them straight away
What was the point I asked
As I knelt down and prayed
I never got to see my child play
And grow like all the others
I thought Lord that was my job
A child, and me to be the Mother.
I never even got any warning
Nothing was ever said
I woke up that sunny morning
To find my sweet child dead.
You gave them life, you stole it
You broke my heart in two
Why? Why? Dear Lord
That’s all I ask from you?

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

To my precious Inghean, today marks the third anniversary of you falling alseep. I am struggling to think were these past three years have gone, thiniking that you would be such a big girl just now. The pain in my heart never ceases, I only learn how to live with it a wee bit more each day. We all miss you so much my beautiful Gaelic Princess and love you so much more each and every day. Fly high in the clouds my darling angel, my beautiful daughter, my precious Gaelic Princess Inghean Donalda.
Love always and forever mummy, daddy, Dexter, Savannah and Sayomi
