My Baby's Blanket

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Aiden was wrapped up in a worn white hospital blanket with pink and blue stripes when they brought him to me. My Mom says she remembers thinking that her grandbaby deserved a nice new blanket. At the time, I didn't think about taking his blanket home. No one offered it to me. I never really thought about it afterwards.

My mom searched and searched until she found a blanket just like that one, from a lady who worked at that hospital. She took it and got it embroidered with the most beautiful blue letters. It said his full name and birthdate. She couldn't get it in time, so she gave it to me late. Last weekend, she brought tears to my eyes when she gave it to me. I am so glad I have it now to wrap my sweet baby's ashes in.

I miss my sweet Baby Aiden. I am feeling sad right now, yet grateful to have a great Mom.

    That is so beautiful.  What a wonderful Mom you have, I'm sure that you must have felt so many emotions at that time.  I am so happy that you have such a wonderful gift in remembrance of your little guy.  Hugs.

    What an amazing gift from your mom to you and her grandson.  It's nice that she thought of something even though it's been a little while since he's been gone.  I hope that all our family members will remember our LOs as time passes.

    Wow!   Your mom is fabulous.  :)  My babies have long been forgotten and not even their names mentioned.  It is great your mom remembers.  That is a wonderful gift.
