I had a miscarriage not long ago (my first baby). I had a very hard time dealing with it, and so did the baby’s father, Thomas. We went and had the due date calculated to see when she/he would have been born and it was Thomas’ birthday. I want to get him some kind of keychain or charm for a chain, or something for him to have thats very sweet. He would love it!! Anything you can do to help me find something will be appreciated!!
Hi. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. My husband and I found out yesterday afternoon that we are miscarrying our baby (our first as well), and we’re pretty devistated. There are several websites out there specializing in infant loss jewelry, like http://www.labelledame.com/miscarriage-infant-loss.html, http://www.myforeverchild.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=Miscarriage-InfantLossJewelry, or even Things Remembered (which I think my hubby and I are going to visit this afternoon).
Also, check out http://www.aplacetoremember.com. You can put a memorial on there and write what you’d like.
Again, I am so sorry to hear about your loss- you’re in my thoughts and prayers, and if you need to talk or anything, feel free to email me Keara_Megann@yahoo.com.

GOOD THOUGHT!!! Being a 1st time mommy I honestly didn’t think of it! I’ll have to do that! awwww.. have fun!!! Thanks for reminding me about that! <3
EDIT: Meg.. also good though! We have a vacation coming up soon.. maybe I’ll pass.. boooo sick kids with the bunny! ha
I have boxes and boxes full of stuff: greeting cards my kids have received, crafts they have created, school papers on which they’ve done well, and certificates/awards they have earned. I’ve also got a couple of outfits they wore as babies, the coin collections their grandpa is providing for them, and a bunch of other stuff. I really have weeded out the majority of the clutter, but I feel it’s important to keep these things for them as a partial record of their childhood. But what do I do with them? It would be nice to have one place for each kid where I can put all that stuff - neatly and well-organized. Seems like somebody would have thought of this by now, and come up with some product to do the job…
If you try to keep everything, you’ll never have room for anything. I tried this and pretty soon, I had no room for anything. Kids don’t really expect you to keep everything either. We have a bulletin board up of her "best" or favorite projects. Other school work, we can and save on CD since there’s lots of room on one of those and papers take up lots and lots of room. Before you start to throw things away, make a collage or scrap book. They’ll be practicing writing every year in school, so that’s not something you need to keep. However, you will want to keep the first time they wrote their name….stuff like that. Collage it or put it in a scrap book. Don’t go crazy on the book though. Designate 2-4 pages per year. Let them participate and choose what they want to add to the collage or book. Then it’s something created by both you and the child and more special. I don’t know any kids that don’t like cutting and gluing. It’s just a suggestion, but you really don’t need to save everything. Certificates and awards are special, so be sure to hang onto those. Put them in a book in order they were received. Special collections can be on display in their rooms. I found that greeting cards add up fast. Each year, we collage the front of the card and a small snip of the gift wrap. We do this in a scrapbook so that each year is "logged in" and preserved forever.
What you store the final projects and papers in can be another craft project. Have the kids help you design or decorate a box or something suitable for them. Just make sure the chosen box is the same size for both and decorate according to what the child likes and such.
hospital bracelets
belly button
first outfit
first pair of shoes
first tooth brush
first gift
first year of birthday cards
birthday cake topper
first blanket
first doctors bandaid (from shot) in his baby book
first clip of hair in a baggie
and we will keep his first tooth (when it comes out)
I’m looking for one of those frames that comes with a cute little decorative paper inside that tells all of the events, prices, and memories from the year the child was born, but I can’t seem to find any online. Does anyone know what they are called or where to get them?

I just googled ‘baby keepsake frame’
good luck….
I have tiara’s sitting on top of pillows and Glass slippers to fill with candy and things pertaining to a baby..
Are these to much to sit on tables for centerpieces and guest to take home for keepsakes. It is a princess theme babyshower but I dont want to seem as if I’m overdoing it.
IT REALLY DEPENDS ON HOW OLD YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS IF SHE IS UNDER 2 I WOULD KEEP IT SIMPLE BUT ABOUT 3 OR MORE THEY MAY ENJOY SEEING THE SLIPPERS AND TIARAS AROUND DISNEY STORE.COM HAS SOME GREAT IDEAS TOO FOR THAT THEME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING DECORATIONS AROUND IT MAKES IT MORE MEMORABLE
I recently gave birth to a still born baby and the hospital staff, especially the nurses were great. They gave me a cute little box and made a little keepsake book for me, they made hand and foot molds of my son for me, took professional pictures for free, and of course let me spend as much time with my baby as I wanted. So I was wondering what other hospitals do for mothers, and family, and their stillborn babies.
Well, mine weren’t still born. But my twins were born 4 months early and our smaller baby passed away within a few hours of birth. They let us hold him for as long as we wanted, which was heart wrenching! He made a few last gasps for air as we held him but there was nothing they could do because he was too small for them to put tubes in him to assist his breathing. He was only 14oz. Our bigger baby passed away at 8 months old. With both babies they gave us a box with their hospital bracelets, pictures (which I didn’t like much), Crystal necklace, a poem and a few other things. I am very grateful they did that. They said that the boxes were actually made from parents who have lost a child and decided to make them for every parent who losses a child.
I would love to do something like that but Im not sure what I would do. I think it would be therapeutic to help other families that have been in the same situation.
My baby will be 6 months old christmas time. I am looking for a craft project that I can do to hang on the christmas tree. I know there was one with a poem and cutout handprints but I can’t remember it?????
Thanks
You can find the poem to put on your ornament at www.baby-hands.com/posterPoems.asp There are 8 poems to select from. You can find a kit at the craft store to make a plaster duplicate of your baby’s hands.
