Maia Belle Craig is the name of my beautiful little angel girl.

She was born still on the 30th September 2007.

Her due date is the 31st January 2008

She was 22 weeks when she was born and she stopped moving on the 23rd September 2007

She will be loved and missed and longed for forever by her mummy.

She died because she was a little wriggler, and knotted her cord...


I love my baby so much.

It's all so unfair that she has gone but i will never EVER forget her and she will always be my
first little baby. Nothing will ever replace her

As a guess, i think she died on the 23rd September. That is when she stopped moving about.

I loved her from the moment i saw her on her first scan.

She was beautiful. Kicking her little legs and arms and wriggling around.

I was so amazed at the life inside me and so proud and happy.

She encouraged me to stop drinking altogether and quit smoking altogether.

I planned the future with her and me together.

I was so in love with her, and still am

I will never forget her.

I first felt her move on the 11th August 2007. It was so lovely

When she stopped moving, I was so worried and started to really worry.

My mum took me to the delivery suite at the hospital to reassure me that everything was fine...but
it wasn't

Her heart had stopped. They checked with three different people with three different machines.

I was induced the next day and gave birth to my baby girl at 3.10am on the Sunday morning

I held her in my arms and kissed her, and unfortunately because of the drugs i was under i
don't remember much. Just that she was perfect.

I had photos taken, and hand and foot prints. She was 26.5cm long

She was perfect

Her funeral was on the 5th October, and up until then i visited her in the chapel of rest. It was
decorated like a baby nursery with cots and Maia was in a little Moses basket.

The hospital had dressed her in a little top with a bear on, and i wrapped her in two shawls, gave
her two little teddies (one which i had been sleeping with since i found out) and a glass angel, and
a letter from myself. Also, i bought her a little bracelet and bought myself a matching locket
necklace, so we could have matching jewelery. She was buried with all these things.

The kind lady at the funeral directors, knitted Maia a tiny bonnet, as normal baby clothes were just
too big for her little body. Her perfectly formed little body

She is my little angel, so so beautiful and i miss her everyday that goes by.

My poem for you Maia!

My first poem for you. I will probably write many more!

For Maia (if anyone would like to use this for their angels, you're very welcome :) )

Hey little baby angel
Are you playing nice today?
I'm thinking of you always
In my heart you'll always stay.

The other lovely people
Who have lost their babies too
Are looking after mummy
And helping her get through

Darling, how i miss you
But i have a lovely thought
Your playing with their angels
On those bouncy clouds, afloat.

Now Maia if you hear me,
Your my cherished little girl
Never will i forget you
You're such a precious little pearl

Sleep tight baby Maia. Another angel who earned his wings. Find my Maddison and play with all the baby angels in heaven.

The angel of the book of life,
wrote down Maia's birth,
and whispered as she closed the book,
'far to beautiful for earth'.

Lots of love Sarah x

May God Bless you

My heart really goes out to you.

I hope you don't mind me putting this poem on.

Listen to this music Lord
their sending it up to you
they didn't like you taking there angel.
But its something you had to do
Will you place her in your loving heart
And tell her they miss her so
Tell her that tears haven't stopped crying
Since the day she had to go.

Bless you all
