Amelias Corner

Finally got her corner set up with most of the memory pieces I have gotten. The vase holding the Sola Wood flowers has a saying on it. The dragonfly was painted by friend. The 2 figures are Willow Tree, 1 was given to me by the hospital and the other one I bought. The candle I found on Zulily, it's battery operated. The A was painted by me and the flowers are from Sola Wood Flowers. The wall hanging I found on Zulily. And Amelias heartbeat lamb and teddy bear urn share a shelf.

Six Months

Written on facebook:

Baby girl you are officially 6 months old!!! It's crazy that it's already been 6 months since you came into our family and then gained your wings. Man, I wish I could go back and hold you one more time, kiss your little button nose, and stroke your cheek as I tell you how much I love you. Your big brother misses you so much. He loves talking about you, which breaks my heart and makes me proud at the same time!!!

Small Bump

Everytime I hear this song I cry and think of Amelia. The part in the song that gets me the most is when he sings, "you can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight". My sister took a picture of Amelia with her hand wrapped hand my thumb and I will always treasure that picture. I listen to this song often, but on the 12th of each month I always listen to it at 11:30pm

Christmas Time

Our son decided we needed a pink Christmas for Amelia. So we went online and he picked out pink ornaments, pink wrapping paper and silver garland. I'm so glad he wanted to do Christmas this year because in all honesty, I didn't care about putting the tree up.

Our First Big Family Holiday

Our first Thanksgiving without our baby girl. Wasn't sure how well I would get through it, but I did. Our son didn't want Amelia to be left out, so we brought her teddy bear with us. It sat on the mantle at my parents house the entire day.

Coming Home

Amelia came home today. We had her cremated and today we brought her home. We got this amazing urn that is a teddy bear. So we can hug her anytime we want to.

Our Final Goodbye & Discharge

At 9:55am, hubby and I made the decide to say our final goodbyes and let the hospital staff take her. The nurse we had took her in a different room and changed her into this beautiful pink dress with a white bonnet. This would be her final outfit. She looked like a little doll. I hated letting her go.

By 1:30pm, I was getting things together to go home. Leaving the hospital empty handed sucked. But knowing that my heart was filled with love helped. Coming home to an empty house with things the way they were when I left to be monitored sucked!!!
