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.

"Sleep, my sweetheart, sleep, my bear,
your cradle swings in the evening air.
Moonbeams touch your precious face,
And stars float by with gentle grace.
Sleep, my sweetheart, have no fear.
Sleep, my darling, I am hear."
Thinking of you
I walk to remember
The steps you'll never take.
I carry you with me
As I firmly plant my feet.
Our trek started long ago,
Before my belly swelled.
You were a love that grew-
Like butterfly wings that beat.
your gentle flutters then became
Kicks upon which I would dwell.
And I would talk to you, sweet babe,
About the world you soon would meet.
the sun always shone upon us then-
When you were in my womb.
And I was eager to show you the world
That would have been your home.
How you'd have loved the sun shining-
Blue skies without a cloud.
The snow falling all around.
The flowers in the summer-
Would have filled your eyes with smiles.
And the rain that might have fallen
Would have caused you great surprise.
You would have traveled far with me-
Holding me by the hand.
And I'd have shown you all I could-
More than I can imagine.
You hold my HEART tightly now,
As though we're holding hands.
How far we've traveld, little one-
And my life with you has been sweet.
For I carry you in my heart,
As I firmly plant my feet.
Sweetheart look after your mommy who has helped me so much
Send floaty kisses to all of your family

Another Beautiful Angel Gone Too Soon
As I lay awake at night
while others are asleep
I take a trip down memory lane
and a tear rolls down my cheek
I cry because I love you
I cry because I care
I cry because when I wake up
I know you won't be there
Still thinking of you
Still missing you
Love ~ Hugs ~ Kisses ~~ Jane...x♥x
For my precious Gaelic Princess
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me
I felt an angel's kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak
I felt an angel's loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart
I felt an angel's tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine
I felt an angel's silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above
I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.
Heartache
Heartache
Ten tiny fingers upon your little hand,
Ten dainty toes on your feet to help you to stand,
I look into your sleeping face and my heart is filled with love,
How can something so beautiful now be an Angel above?
Your eyelashes so long upon your sweet face,
No one will ever take your place,
The joy we all waited for is now replaced by tears,
The numbness, the heartache, along with all our fears,
I want to hold you in my arms and never let you go,
My darling child,how I love you so,
A part of me went with you the day you were called home,
I feel that my world has stopped and I feel so much alone,
I gently place you down for one last time,
Tears are on my face as I whisper, "peace be thine",
Without you I am nothing, and never will be again,
All I feel is heartache and a huge, huge pain,
My darling child you will be loved and missed every single day,
Goodbye is to final a word for me to ever say,
God only gave you to us to borrow,
Loved today, yesterday and for all the tomorrows
I love you so much my beautiful Gaelic Princess. I miss you every day my sweet wee Princess. I wish everyday to be able to hold you one more time to kiss your wee button nose one more time. If only I could my sweet baby girl. I am sending you loads of floaty kisses, I hope you catch them. Sleep well my beautiful Inghean. Love always mummy xxxxxxxx
I love you my beautiful Inghean
The Broken Chain
We knew little that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, when God called you home. You left us precious memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you're alway at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
