When Jamie and Jessica Clarke first met, they had an instant connection - and life moved quickly for the pair, seeing them get married, buy a house together and get two dogs in quick succession.
The next journey of their lives began the moment Jess' pregnancy test showed up positive. Jamie, who is from Greensland, and Jess, a Belfast girl, went through spreadsheets of baby girl names, preparing for the day they'd meet their first child.
Baby Clarke was expected on June 9 this year, but made an early entrance into the world, and was born on Saturday, February 25 at 12:48pm. Thea James Clarke weighed a tiny 1lb 8oz, but fought for 12 hours before she sadly passed away in the Ulster Hospital.
