Noah has a condition called Spina Bifida it sets in from the 14th day of conception and you don't even know your pregnant ! Around 1000 babies are born every year with this condition and around 200 actually make it, parents are given the choice to terminate upto 33 weeks in some cases, we where given this option and declined it 5 times ! a none resuscitation order was put on our beautiful baby son which we named Noah ...... We planed the funeral so we could all spend the time with Noah after the birth knowing we'd all be together with him.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Noah let out a HUGE cry his determination everyday to be here and do things is an amazing sight to see ! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihL1D5UeK2bs2zCkYLkOAvo3qbRNhSfpihsqRreFCmnsA0j8FAQ0QcFKm711magIGtpnzsOtCnokG1rUB3kbLWgD7lhwE2prkBB4HagcBLzYiOwqoQgd3Fh8wwC3hOMpXfen-TVPhTgic/s640/blogger-image-926032674.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihL1D5UeK2bs2zCkYLkOAvo3qbRNhSfpihsqRreFCmnsA0j8FAQ0QcFKm711magIGtpnzsOtCnokG1rUB3kbLWgD7lhwE2prkBB4HagcBLzYiOwqoQgd3Fh8wwC3hOMpXfen-TVPhTgic/s640/blogger-image-926032674.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy28lTeCrrcwgwEHLiAk_1hBp0SMY1Jf2B99P1JOev1OH4vkeCW6hEj-fzygRQaZhN3TO_vujAhfZsB7YCbv5SeJUNZ3z8qmt48PmpLIlxwvXrEoVCQMcUEkWLBBEOeRU9C6xiVO3pxbY/s640/blogger-image--672334161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy28lTeCrrcwgwEHLiAk_1hBp0SMY1Jf2B99P1JOev1OH4vkeCW6hEj-fzygRQaZhN3TO_vujAhfZsB7YCbv5SeJUNZ3z8qmt48PmpLIlxwvXrEoVCQMcUEkWLBBEOeRU9C6xiVO3pxbY/s640/blogger-image--672334161.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNJsrBMiB3X1-4rar3PJEclyzWDTxwNLIiXMD24nrEYvMIBaiwJC6l9o5z0N9ARhKPz96FabSBCYAKFWG6IzWZvl3AHZ_LZbChiXUsSnhwDwozFvVc8FmJgl3lV73TplAesOeJ6ytRkY/s640/blogger-image-1169466083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNJsrBMiB3X1-4rar3PJEclyzWDTxwNLIiXMD24nrEYvMIBaiwJC6l9o5z0N9ARhKPz96FabSBCYAKFWG6IzWZvl3AHZ_LZbChiXUsSnhwDwozFvVc8FmJgl3lV73TplAesOeJ6ytRkY/s640/blogger-image-1169466083.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgItW3Kii-45M85hTOPuiRRkxUrTz1yCGK6qymrD5kZrZzAYG-YEiT1V1zmckEt_m5gwzEIiVlh7Kvnuq5d1ooKZ2u8ElXOPAJX8xCODyA98u7PzERCnAsDRvVTAQeUsxdR1rs5N-CUVFA/s640/blogger-image--806848821.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgItW3Kii-45M85hTOPuiRRkxUrTz1yCGK6qymrD5kZrZzAYG-YEiT1V1zmckEt_m5gwzEIiVlh7Kvnuq5d1ooKZ2u8ElXOPAJX8xCODyA98u7PzERCnAsDRvVTAQeUsxdR1rs5N-CUVFA/s640/blogger-image--806848821.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Please come and join in with Noah's 3rd birthday take a selfie and let us know where your from or what country </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Thank you </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Love Shellybobbins®</div><br></div><br></span></div></div>shellybobbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00765682825936354615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807907214501993407.post-75813370714932097952015-02-11T04:26:00.001-08:002015-02-11T05:35:22.938-08:00Guest blog meet the lovely #SBS winner @MarshmellowUK #HugsForNoah<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Look what the postman delivered this morning !

Friday 24th May 2013 was the day we had all been planning and waiting for... after three months of planning the big day had arrived, it was Noah Wall's first <a href="http://eljay1980.wordpress.com/wp-admin/www.hugsfornoah.co.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Hugs For Noah"><span style="color: #2862c5;">Hugs For Noah</span></a> Gala Dinner at <a href="http://www.armathwaite-hall.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Armathwaite Hall"><span style="color: #2862c5;">Armathwaite Hall</span></a>. Many amazing people had been involved in the planning of this event to make it the best evening possible so the levels of excitement were through the roof.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_32_1370008514805_53" style="text-align: center;">
During the lead up to this fantastic event, the very lovely Beverley Knight recorded a video to help promote Hugs For Noah and the Gala Dinner taking place on 24th May 2013.</div>

The love shown via the internet for baby Noah is amazing... nobody could ever have anticipated the number of people who have shown their support, given their time and helped with the promotion of this fantastic cause.</div>

Rob and Shelly Wall chose this venue for their son's first Gala Dinner as this was the venue for their own wedding a couple of years previously which you can read about <a href="http://shellybobbins.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/wedding-wednesday-ww-shellibobbins.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="here on ShellyBobbins blog"><span style="color: #2862c5;"> on ShellyBobbins blog</span></a> - everyone looked amazing on Rob and Shelly's wedding day and it looked like the perfect location for Noah's first big event.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We arrived at Armathwaite Hall mid-afternoon on Friday to deliver our range of Hugs For Noah candles which were handcrafted by <a href="http://www.cardsandcandlesforalloccasions.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Cards And Candles For
All Occasions"><span style="color: #2862c5;">Cards And Candles For All Occasions</span></a> to be used partly for decoration of the stunning venue, and also available for sale to fellow guests. The wonderful <a href="http://www.armathwaite-hall.com/spa/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Armathwaite Spa"><span style="color: #2862c5;">Armathwaite Spa</span></a> staff were in the process of decorating the venue when we arrived and the function suite looked amazing... a stunning building, set in beautiful grounds with a simply stunning interior. This promised to be a very amazing evening.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Part way through the evening, Noah's mummy Shelly took to the mic to give a speech explaining all about the heartache they have been through as a family, the daily struggles they face with Noah's medical conditions and the joy their beautiful son brings to their lives... this was a very touching and emotional speech with left many of the evenings guests rather teary eyed (myself included). This was followed by Rob (Noah's daddy) talking of his love and adoration of Shelly and his family and the presentation to Shelly of a gorgeous bouquet of flowers.</div>

For his first #HugsForNoah Gala Dinner, Noah was dressed like a little star... the label of his waistcoat even had his name and the date - it was beautiful but by midway through the evening we had tired this little superstar out and he was fast asleep in his gorgeous Silver Cross pram... even asleep he is the most gorgeous little boy!!</div>

Noah was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, he was fitted with a shunt (head drain) at birth and is paralysed from below the chest. Noah has defied both the odds and medical expertise right from birth and melts hearts with his smiles. Mum Shelly has worked and campaigned tirelessly and has been invited to Westminster to speak about the importance of folic acid and B12 supplements for prospective mothers.</div>

Although the girls where nervous I think they did really well ! also that morning ally got her mock GCSE results these are not her final results as ally gets those next year but the marks do count towards, Ally was brave enough to open them <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/p00wsjwb">live on air</a> ally thoughout the year has been studing very hard even though shes had to deal with being bullied & also having to deal with thoughts & ideas for her then unborn little brother ! I am very pleased to say that Noah was born very disabled but very alive on the 6th March 2012.<br />
<br />
When ally opened her results I could tell listening to the radio that she wasnt happy & coming out of the studio looked at me and burst into tears I am VERY PROUD of my daughters and I personally think that allys amazing so when <a href="http://www.theopaphitissbs.com/about/">Theo Paphitis</a> tweeted this morning I had to tell theo <br />

Noahs doing so well I had to blog hes been moving slightly his legs to crawl, lifting them up in the air from his waist, & now trying to hold his own head up, blowing rasberrys, reaching up with both hands/arms to be picked up doesnt happen all the time, but this is amazing to think just what noah can do with a tiny bit of brain, yesterday noahs been holding spoons in each hand while I feed him his breakfast which is pureed pears (which is also done to keep noah regular without using medication, homemade & then frozen ready to use every morning) food has been everywhere (giggles) its been so funny to watch and incredable to see noah feed himself, noah even grabbed with his fingers & thumb a rattle hanging from his play gym he amazes me every day<br />
<br />
<br />
Next week we are off to the RVI hospital for a <a href="http://www.shinecharity.org.uk/hydrocephalus/information-publications/tests-and-procedures-used-to-check-function-of-the-urinary-system">micturating cystogram</a> to assess noahs bladder, as parents we want whats best for noah and seeing his progress so far feel he doesnt need catheterisation (not yet anyway) noah has full stream and also knows when his nappys dirty too & so much so makes a fuss there and then to be changed and doesnt matter if he hasnt finished his feed either, with noah going under a general anaesthetic again this decision hasnt been taken lightly at all but the out come will tell us whether noahs bladders emptying ok and the valves are working ok and also if theres any stones or not.<br />
<br />
Had a visit from the Occupational Therapist lady<strong> </strong>to<strong> </strong>assess our home, noah will need to be able to get about in an electric wheelchair & also need to get upstairs to what will be noahs bedroom, bathroom we will need downstairs shower room or bath, we will also have to think about me doing noahs physio as I cant get up & down off the floor and so far ive managed to do noahs physio on a changing mat that goes across the top of his cotbed, with noah getting very long a gaining weight i'll need a hoist to lift noah onto some sort of ajustable bed, maybe a physio bed ? <br />
<br />
The other thing at the moment im doing is looking into carseats and although noahs trying to hold his head up it will still need supported whilst in his carseat so the Occupational Therapist will be asking rep's to see if they can help as noah will need a carseat that isnt upright.<br />
<br />
Noahs nurseries on the top floor and a lift cant be put in to make the top floor assesable for him so we are now going to start decorating yet another room & have a jiggle about, door ways dont meet to the 900mm needed for a wheelchair either, bedroom sizes are ok but noah still needs his turning circle of 1500mm, light switches & sockets are not at the right hight etc etc the councils coming next week to see whats possible with extension to my sewing room & see if it would be easier to have a bedroom, bathroom downstairs for noah or not <br />
<br />
If anyone reading my blog knows of where we can get any help from charities then Id be really grateful im wanting to buy some lights for noahs room making it a sensory/physio room for him<br />
<br />
everything thats for a disabled person seems to be tripple the price ???? <br />
<br />
<br />
thank you for taking the time to read & comment on my blog I love reading your comments<br />
<br />

seems such along time ago since I blogged this picture was taken on the 6th March 2012, So much has happened little did hubby or I know that 3 hours after this picture was taken we would be hearing our son cry for the very first time, I had to have a emergency section within the 3 hours as noahs head was so big it was actually life threating for both of us ! the doctors asked if they could take fluid off noahs brain through my tummy before the birth and we said no as this could harm him, we where able to help a student william lovely lad aged just 19 he looked really sad when he came into threatre mind you so did everyone, as we'd been told noah wouldnt live and thats why we had put everything into place with noahs funeral in the january, william how ever was interested to do a case study for newcastle uni and put together a presentation, we where able to help william over the week with very personal interviews and feelings about the whole experience and later with another 7 students that came to the ward, everyone was expecting including ourself that noah would maybe live mins,hours,days ? his condition was expected to be that bad ! <br />

noah needed his shunt removed and a 7 week stay in hospital after noah getting an infection in his brain fluid (CSF fluid), because noah had his shunt removed the doctors had to do whats called daily taps and remove the fluid by placing a needle and draining off 20/40ml of brain/spinal fluid<br />

</div><div>On Sunday evenings Theo Paphitis of BBC’s Dragons Den runs a competition on Twitter called Small Business Sunday (“SBS”).<br />
<img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0066/7432/files/theo_medium.jpg?110014" /><br />
To enter this competition, businesses must send a tweet to <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/TheoPaphitis">@TheoPaphitis</a> between 5:00pm and 7:30pm using the hashtag #SBS. Theo reads all the entries and personally selects his favourite six to retweet to his massive list of followers that currently stands at over 230,000.<br />
He says he started the competition in October 2010 because, “Sunday is the day that I do all my thinking”. <br />
Yesterday, (Sunday 18 March 2012 – Mother’s Day) there were an amazing 1,747 tweets to <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/TheoPaphitis">@TheoPaphitis</a> with the #SBS hashtag. (Statistics courtesy of @virtualbuscent).<br />
Sarah Dening, owner of Shop On Your Doorstep, was chosen by Theo Paphitis as one of his winners. Her tweet was then retweeted to his 230,000 followers:<br />

Needless to say, I look forward to meeting Theo on 30<sup>th</sup> March at his SBS Winners Event in Birmingham”.<br />
“The initial response has been fantastic. My number of followers on Twitter has increased by over 300 in a matter of hours, and traffic to my website is also up. I would encourage any small business owner to tweet Theo on Sunday”.<br />

I will attempt to run 100 miles in 24 hours from Eyemouth to Tynemouth (down the east coast of Northumberland). </div><br />
<div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal">When I tell people that this is my plan they tend to look at me with a slightly confused expression, followed by the obvious question: why the hell would you do that to yourself? To me the answer is simple and can be explained by my beautiful son Sebastian.</div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><br />
<div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal">On January 11<sup>th</sup> 2009 our son Seb entered the world, to the joy of his Mummy & Daddy. Unfortunately 16 hours after he was born we were told the earth shattering news, that Seb had a Congenital Heart Defect called Tetralogy of Fallot; left untreated would mean he wouldn’t reach his 2<sup>nd</sup> birthday! At just 4 months old Seb underwent over 6 hours of open heart surgery and spent the following month scaring his Mummy & Daddy half to death during a very tricky recovery period in Hospital. Now at the age of 3, Seb is the happiest and most loving little boy you could hope to meet; although he will require further major surgery in the future, all is well at present.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbQxpvPpktrGfklqF9dysRuqM-4tnhwiqfJ2tttCfwiB1JUJVyY46nDvrm6vOxVLGUNC7poLk22XOMcAxSIx98gt3dqzZtEvFTQyHHQ-fRPYHR6zdjneuoyQxQ1ujLX_aMS6W1brtO4Oo/s1600/tn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbQxpvPpktrGfklqF9dysRuqM-4tnhwiqfJ2tttCfwiB1JUJVyY46nDvrm6vOxVLGUNC7poLk22XOMcAxSIx98gt3dqzZtEvFTQyHHQ-fRPYHR6zdjneuoyQxQ1ujLX_aMS6W1brtO4Oo/s1600/tn.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><br />
<div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal">The fact that Seb’s health is so good is testament to the amazing skills of the surgical and medical team at the Children’s Heart Unit at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. As 1 of only 2 units in the UK that perform heart transplants on children, the Freeman represents a medical unit that are setting new standards in the treatment of the most poorly heart children and literally saving lives every day. </div><br />
<div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal">So how the hell do you say thank you to the people that saved your child’s life? You dedicate your life to raising money and awareness so they never run out of money and are therefore able to continue performing miracles on our little superhero’s. This is what my wife and I have done, and will continue to do for as long as we have the energy to.</div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal">To return to the original reaction when I tell people about my 100 mile run, the answer probably seems a little more straight forward. In an age where money is tight and the number of wonderful charity’s out there asking for our cash seems to be growing by the day; simple fundraising events are not always enough. Sometimes you have to put something on the table that expresses quite how important this thing is; which is what hopefully I have done with this challenge.</div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal">I understand that the 100 mile run represents not only the hardest physical challenge I have ever taken on, but also the most demanding psychologically and emotionally. It will force me to search inside myself far deeper than ever before and probably take me to emotional places that are quite dark. However let me assure you of one thing; I will finish it! The reason I will finish it is because of Seb and all the other heart children. The pain I will endure during the training and the run itself are insignificant when compared to what Seb suffered after his surgery. So when things get tough and I feel like I can’t go on; I will remember the long hours when Seb lay in Intensive Care, with more tubes and wires than seem possible for one so small. I will remember the 6 hours when Nadine and I had to distract ourselves whilst he was on the operating table, and I will remember the day that we thought we might lose him (pictured). Then I will put my head down, wipe away the tears and carry on; because it is all I can do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUbB4BnkBA2awe3lAAYUKSaKvB8U7RayU6LI5lQhTgKoILtgs5MQHT13gSGU2Wcg5IuABkUvmyL8dCJxl3qlj9po4g_2x_CRHLc7dc1AZCA-Jm6XPRdD8lYkWVjOXv8qJrW2pS8lh_hpY/s1600/ivan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUbB4BnkBA2awe3lAAYUKSaKvB8U7RayU6LI5lQhTgKoILtgs5MQHT13gSGU2Wcg5IuABkUvmyL8dCJxl3qlj9po4g_2x_CRHLc7dc1AZCA-Jm6XPRdD8lYkWVjOXv8qJrW2pS8lh_hpY/s1600/ivan.jpg" /></a></div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal">Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I hope you will support me in any way possible on April 6<sup>th</sup> and 7<sup>th</sup> as I make my way down the Northumberland coast.</div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> Please visit our website at <a href="http://www.seb4chuf.org.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.Seb4chuf.org.uk</a> and follow us on Twitter <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Seb4chuf">http://www.twitter.com/Seb4chuf</a> To donate simply text ‘CHUF99’ to 70070 and enter 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 for the amount you wish to donate.</div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1629217208MsoNormal"><br />

YES you've read that right the 30th of March 2012, <br />
<br />
last night Theo tweeted that the #sbs reunion would take place in BBirmingham at the Edgbaston Stadium between 12noon & 4pm that day !!!<br />
<br />
Not only do I get to meet the lovely Theo Paphitis (Shelly is Theo's no 1 fan) but I also get to meet Theo's PR lady, the lovely Tina too !! I don't know how many 100's of #sbs winners will be going but to be able to meet people Ive managed to help over twitter will be AMAZING too, Ive made so many friends with entering Theo's Small Business Sunday competition & really cant believe I'll get to meet them !!! I'm SOooooo Excited.<br />
<br />
SO looking forward to this day and as you can see from my Theo tweets a promise of a nip of the very famous drink with Theo will just top the day off nicely "Nip Of Brandy" ! <br />
<br />
I cant wait to see you ALL !!!! <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Told in 2011<br />
Our baby being diagnosed with spina bifida & lesion being spade wide open from the 11th 12th disc down to the bottom of the coxis this is a really large opening, and discussed on the 10th jan that theres not enough skin for this to be closed, so baby wont need an operation as soon as he/she's born.<br />
<br />
Our babys brain part of the left hand 1/4 back side is missing we where told this on the 20th Dec 2011 going back on the 10th jan to find out more fluid has now gone over to the right hand side now the name of this rare cyst <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porencephaly">Porencephalic </a>(please click on the name to find out more) <br />
<br />
Quote from our hospital letter <br />
<br />
"I explained to you that because of the brain problem maybe that baby's born and doesn't establish normal or regular breathing. It is therefore possible that baby may pass away and die relatively soon after delivery. If this was the case we would not wish to admit baby to special care baby unit and would rather that we helped you care for baby on the delivery suite"<br />
<br />
We decided to plan & organise a funeral last week, Friday I just couldn't stop crying at all hubby rang work and stayed with me, we talked, hugged, cried, held hands sat tickling my tummy, it was a really hard day to talk about organising a funeral with baby kicking ?? We made an appointment after speaking to some funeral directors most who where really lovely I have to say, mind you one does stick in my mind and after telling him about baby he presumed and said "So your having a termination then" It was hard enough to pick up the phone and make the call never mind being spoken to like this !!!!!!!!!!! We didnt speak very long after this x<br />
<br />
So 2pm last Friday we went and picked a coffin a beautiful white one with silver handles Walkers in Carlisle where So lovely and very helpful, If baby does die we know that every things in place picked and done so theres precious time spent with hubby, girls & baby altogether and no need to then be here there and everywhere & not being able to think straight either, at least we have that time altogether talked about all our different wishes and planned with love for our baby ~~ also coming to terms with what would be the worst day of our lives.<br />
<br />
We still have HOPE, POSITIVITY, and SO MUCH LOVE the 12th March will be our baby's birthday (section date) we have decided on that day to celebrate our baby's birthday too as this might be the only one we have x<br />
<br />
thank you to everyone who sends us emails (<a href="mailto:shellybobbins.2010@yahoo.co.uk">shellybobbins.2010@yahoo.co.uk</a>) messages on facebook & twitter, text messages, cards sent with support all this helps us get through every day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br />
<br />
#BabyBobbinsDay I hope you can virtually join in on twitter & facebook page on the 12th March raising awareness of spina bifida & why we should take FOLIC ACID 3 months before pregnancy <a href="http://www.shinecharity.org.uk/">http://www.shinecharity.org.uk/</a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/shineukcharity">@shineukcharity</a> xxxxxxxxxxx<br />

<br />
Searching google & you tube the other day I came across this amazing and very inspiring family ! I had to share this with you about spina bifida. <br />
<br />
You may already know our baby will soon be born with spina bifida and finding inspiring stories like this are a fabulous uplift & real boost of positivity <br />
