Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day photos & Card for Baby Shower

Hello Friends! Happy Thursday... I hope you are having a lovely week so far. I just wanted to share 2 photos with you from yesterday. I took a photo of the candles I lit in remembrance of all of the pregnancy and infant loss around the world. There were 2 small candles and then there is a larger candle in the glass pillar up on our mantle. :) Kristin came over tonight since Stephen works 2nd shift to light the candles with me and just hang out. Some nights we all need a best friend by our side. :)

I know I've been doing a ton of baby cards and projects lately, but I know around 25 people due from now until next May! Isn't that insane in the membrane?! LOL!!! My good friend, Kristi, is expecting her first baby in January. Her baby shower is November 8th...so I thought I'd go ahead and get her baby card out of the way. :) I used the stork, sentiment, and heart from Treehouse Stamps Baby Blessings stamp set. :)

Have a great day!
Hugs,
Ashley

Happy Tuesday, Friends! I hope you are all having a good day. When I checked my mail today there my bracelet was that I ordered after my miscarriage. I'm going to put an angel outside in our flower bed and probably plant a new tree in remembrance of the baby angel we lost. When I saw this charm bracelet from www.MyForeverChild.com I knew I wanted one. Here is the meaning of the charms...and if you notice the crystals out to the sides of them...represent the month.

The Rose: "LIFE"-with a crystal in the color of the month that our baby was conceived, and a new life entered mine.

"Butterfly"-with a crystal in the color of the month our baby passed away, and was free to fly like a beautiful carefree butterfly.

"Wish"-with a crystal in the color of the month that our baby was originally due, when we hoped and wished our baby would be in our arms.

I also added the baby feet heart charm... on the back of it I had engraved, "Baby Angel 4/3/09 in my heart."

I sat out on our porch in the sun to open it... it made me cry, but at the same time it is even a little more closure. I am so hopeful for the future. I just wanted to share this with you... they also had a poem with the bracelet.

My Forever Child

You are a Precious Child

Created out of love,

a blessing from above.

I've adored you from the start,

and your little footprints touched my heart.

A single teardrop represents

the millions I have cried.

My life never the same since you died.

I wish you could have stayed longer with me.

I'd watch you grow into all you could be.

Although we are apart,

You are always in my heart.

I dream of the joyful time when

we will be reunited once again.

Thoughts of you make me smile.

You will always be My Forever Child.

Please remember that tomorrow, OCTOBER 15th, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Check out My Post about it HERE.
