Bubs' eyes?

[thepixie]

Oh Teni babe, I really don't know.... I just wanted to for you reading that....

[Junglemum]

Oh Tenibear, I'm so sorry. What if's are always hard, but trust that what you felt in your heart when you were holding Ianto was right. You wiped his nose, straightened his clothes. I don't think you missed out on anything. He was sleeping.

Teni bear again I am so sorry that Ianto's life with you was so short.

I myself as a midwife haven't seen any mummy's open their sleeping bubs eyes personally (not saying they didn't whilst I wasn't there) unless bub had been deceased for a longer period of time (say a week plus) I don't think you would have seen anything that would have upset you more like blood etc. It could have also been difficult like you said you thought it might have been. If I were in your position I don't think I would have tried either. Ianto looked so perfect sleeping and you have captured some beautiful pictures of him in your blog.

Time with Ianto was so short before you also said goodbye to him. I am sorry you didn't have a lifetime with him on Earth to see him grow and see every part of him.

DH did for Caitlyn. I don't think it is unusual. We didn't take eyes open photos though. All were eyes closed.

Sometimes it is written in your memory book with the weight / hair colour what colour the eyes were

[Spring Angel]

I did. DH didn't want to look but I had to.

I regret other things though, like not taking more photos. But it is such an intense time and it's impossible to think straight, I don't think there would be many of us who don't have regrets.
