Remembrance Day ideas

I think planting something is a nice idea as well, perhaps you could ask someone at the garden centre if there is anything that flowers at that time of year (and that doesn't lose its leaves). If you don't want it to be lonely in the garden perhaps you could get a house plant. Also if you ever move it is something that you can take with you.

I moped around the house and didn't do anything in particular on our angel's due date last year coz I was busy being morbid about losing the gremlins, this year I didn't even remember until a friend texted me to say she was thinking of me and then I felt horribly guilty for not remembering

For me New Years is harder than my EDD I think coz of all the celebrations, when all I can remember is lying in bed in the dark listening to the bass on the speakers from the party next door and sobbing my heart out coz I knew my baby had died. I had the d and c on the 2nd Jan.

We still haven't buried baby, still haven't quite got there, but one day we will.

Something I'm going to do when we do finally bury her is release a single pink balloon, kind of like setting her spirit free.

Our due date is fast approaching. I have taken the days off around it, and am planning on getting my tattoo. Mike is planning to get his at the same time, he has found 3 cute geckos that he is getting on his arm, from small to large, and different colours.

We still have the "baby" and were going to bury her in a neat pot beneath some lillies.. however now feel that would be weird "putting it outside", so to speak, sounds silly i guess, that and we would forever be worried some idiot would steal the pot. so we are looking for a nice lockable container/jewellery box/chest to put it in with our scan pic on it somewhere special in our house.

That's really nice Kate. Similar to the balloon idea I guess, which I pinched from Sands, they have one every year to acknowledge Baby Loss Awareness Day.
