Good morning all of my followers!
Apologies in advance for this post, but unfortunately I have to make it so here goes!
As soon as I’m back doing what I love, I must close again TEMPORARILY.
It comes with such bittersweet news, I am expecting my second gorgeous baby in a few weeks time! Our hearts are so full and we are so blessed.🥰❤️
However, around the same time we found out I was expecting, my world took a turn for the worst and I was diagnosed with bone marrow failure. It was because of this gorgeous baby growing inside me that my illness has came to light, so my baby has saved my life before they’re even on Earth! How lucky am I 🥹❤️
So what should have been the most magical pregnancy has been one of the most toughest times of my life and I’m trying to repay that debt to my baby every day by being the best I can and looking after myself the best I can.
I have to especially mention and shout out my haematologist who is just awesome, and for all of the ladies on the wards who know me and make me feel at home in the hospital - even if I am a bit of a prankster and trouble maker!
As soon as I give birth I will be having a little rest in my newborn bubble before having to take that unimaginable step into undergoing chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant - assuming I can find a donor of course!
If anyone does have any words of wisdom - I’m all ears!
I have taken my final order for 2025, and every order I have currently sat with me will be fulfilled before I’m then a permanent resident of the hospital. I have tried with every fibre of my being to continue this business as it’s what I love, but unfortunately there has to be a time where I have to admit defeat!
I apologise wholeheartedly in advance to those who were planning on ordering with me! To say the last 7 months have been the craziest and scariest of my life is an absolute understatement.
Thank you to all of my customers over the years and believe me as soon as I am fit and able I will be back and this time for good! This is absolutely not goodbye forever, it’s just goodbye for now!
With love,
Kerry @ Little Darling Keepsakes 🩷
P.s - look at these pair of gorgeous dinosaurs I made last week, aren’t they just roarsome 🥹
