Jamie Michael Mattocks, our darling son, and younger brother to Zoe, was born asleep on 30th October 2007.
We had no idea anything had gone wrong. Over the weekend we had been feeling movements even laughing at some big kicks but then on Tuesday I went for a routine visit to the midwife, she couldn't find the heartbeat. I hadn't been worried by not feelings movements that day, as he was often quite during the day but moved more in the evening.
Unfortunately Stuart was not with me as he was at work, so the midwife came with me to the local hospital where a scan revealed Jamie's heartbeat had stopped. My mum arrived just after and in the car park I just burst into tears,couldn't even tell her what had happened. We then had to go to the main hospital to have it confirmed by a second scan. Stuart was going to meet us there.
On the way to the hospital, Stuart phoned, his car had broken down, so my mum and I made a detour to fetch him. At least we were together! The scan confirmed what we already knew and I was taken to labour ward and given a chioce. Go home and wait or be induced. How could we go home? At 18.15 they started to induce me, we were told it could take days, but by 23.16 we had our little boy in our arms.
He was a perfect baby, the midwife hadn't told us whether it was a boy or a girl. He looked so like his older sister Zoe that I thought he had to be a girl, got a bit of a shock when I looked to discover he was a boy. The name was already picked out. Jamie because we liked it and Michael in memory of my nephew who had died at only 4 days old. Michael and Jamie were to be playmates in the sky!
The midwife was good and allowed us to do lots for Jamie. We bathed him and dressed him. Stuart helped to take some handprints and footprints and we cut some of his hair to keep. He had so much lovely dark hair. Explains the heartburn!!!!!! The priest also came to bless Jamie and we were given a certificate in memory of this blessing.
These things have all been put into a memory box with photos, certificates and a few toys we were given for Jamie. A few happy memories, but too few!
For your 2nd Birthday
Two years ago, we held you.
Two years ago, we cried.
Yesterday, we longed for you.
We spoke your name and sighed.
The tears don’t come as fast now,
And yet they remain.
Footprints on our hearts, there,
You’re with us just the same.
Are you proud of who we are now,
You made us who we are, now,
The people we’ve become?
Our first, beloved son.
A lifetime may mean different things
Depending who you ask.
Finding love, learning, completing some kind of task.
We hope that yours was right for you,
Warm and safe and sound.
While you couldn’t stay with us,
We find your life profound.
Two years ago, we touched you,
For the first and only time.
Today, we hold you in our hearts,
Knowing that you’re still ours.
So happy birthday, baby,
We’ll light two candles for you tonight.
Know that Mummy and Daddy's love for you will burn forever bright.

God had other plans for you
I guess this world's too mean
He took you to a better place
Where the grass is always green.
God had other plans for you
Little angel, earn your wings
protect those you're supposed to
and always do nice things.
God had other plans for you
he'll have you wait for me
how ever long that will take
then I can rock you on my knee.
God had other plans for you
so I couldn't tell you goodbye
you were gone before hello
no answer for the why.

I am so sorry for your tragic loss; your little boy looks beautiful - just too beatuiful to stay here on earth. My close friend lost a full time baby a few years ago and she says that the pain gets easier as she knows her daughter is in a better place. Sleep tight little one. Thinking about your family.
Grandma and Grandpa
We had so much love to give you and are left with acheing hearts.We will love and miss you always our beautiful grandson. Sleep tight with the angels Jamie. With all or love forever Grandma and Grandpa. xx
IF I COULD HAVE A LIFETIME WISH
A DREAM THAT WOULD COME TRUE.
I'D PRAY TO GOD WITH ALL MY HEART FOR YESTEREDAY AND YOU.
A THOUSAND WORDS CAN'T BRING YOU BACK;
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE TRIED.
AND NEITHER WILL A MILLION TEARS,
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE CRIED.
YOU LEFT BEHIND MY BROKEN HEART
AND HAPPY MEMORIES TOO
I NEVER WANTED MEMORIES,
I ONLY WANTED YOU.
R.I.P Sweet Angel
Blessing in Disguise

God sends his 'little angles'
In many forms and guises,
They come as lovely miracles
That God alone devises -
For he does nothing without a purpose,
Everything's a perfect plan
To fulfill in bounteous measure
All he ever promised man -
For every 'little angel'
With body bent and broken,
Or a little mind delayed
Or little words unspoken,
Is just God's way of trying
To reach and touch the hand
Of all who do not know Him
And cannot understand
That often through an angel
Whose 'wings will never fly'
The Lord is pointing out a way
To his eternal sky
Where there will be no more handicaps
Of body, soul or mind,
And where all limitations
Will be dropped and left behind -
So accept these 'little angels'
As gifts from God above
And thank Him for this lesson
In FAITH and HOPE and LOVE.
Rest in peace and sleep tightly little man. He is a truly gorgeous little boy, far to beautiful for this earth. Take care and keep strong X
