Does anyone else have a picture?

in Late Term and Child Loss
I don't know...I feel like I'm weird for wanting a wallet picture of Brianna to keep with me. I even went on shutterfly see what it would look like. I haven't said anything to my dh about it. As you know by now it's hard to get me to open up! I've never been good about sharing my feelings until I'm about to explode. I just don't want to order them and ppl think I've finally lost my mind or my dh seeing them and being hurt b/c I didn't talk to him. I don't know...no point to this I guess. Just some pointless rambling. And also just wondering...

    I don't carry a picture with me, but I don't think it's weird of you for wanting to do so!  Brianna is your daughter and it seems natural that you would want to have a picture of her with you.  Sending (((HUGS))).

    Ticker... 

     

     

    I don't think it's weird at all. Ellie's picture is my phone's main screen, and I have a heart locket keychain with her picture in it as well. 

    I will never forget, a well-meaning friend saw my phone and said, "Are you trying to torture yourself?" I thought that was crazy...everyone else has pictures of their kids, why shouldn't I? It doesn't make me feel sad, it makes me feel happy.

    I don't think this is weird at all. If I had a picture of our boys I would carry it with me. We only have one picture from the hospital and I am scared to do anything with it, for fear it might get ruined.

    HUGS

    Thank you ladies for making me not feel crazy! It would only be for me to look at unless I thought someone was worthy enough to see her. I think I just might order it later on.

    I don't have any photos, and now I WISH I did.  But, speaking of remembering your child; I just had conversation with a friend (she has no children) and I was talking about how if people asked, I would tell them that I had a daughter, and she said that would just make me more sad.  I thought that was crazy too!  It's not like that would be reminding me of her, because I already think of her ALL THE TIME.  Most people just don't understand.

    *ticker warning*

     

     

     

    I carry not only a picture, but a book of pictures in my purse. My mom made it for me, she calls it a brag book. It's just two pieces of heavy cardstock with plastic sheets for pictures inside and a little ribbon that ties it together. I think she got it at Michael's. I really like having it with me.

    I don't think it's crazy, either. My mom and sister have pictures of Devon on their phones that they're going to forward to me, and I plan on printing one of me holding him and keeping it on me. I have some from the hospital but am also too afraid to ruin them, so I keep those in his memory box.

    I do.  I have several infact, I also have them on my phone and Nook so I can pull them up whenever I want to. 

    There is nothing wrong with wanting to see your baby.

    We have pictures from the hospital, 4 of them. 2 are blurry. I send one to a photog friend to see if he could edit it to make it remotely displayable, but it just wasn't possible due to his discoloration. I have the edited photo on our computer and I look at it sometimes; it's a lot better than the original but still not how I remember him.

    We framed his footprints, u/s photo and we have a Christian's Beach photo framed- all of these are on display in our home. It's important to me- he's a part of our family, living or not.

    ***Siggy and Ticker warning***

     

     

    I carry a picture of Jack in my wallet, and have a picture of him on my desk at work. He is my son, and I want to show him off just as I would with my other kids. 

    I say get the pictures and you can do with them what you want, when you are ready.
