All I had to do is show up. <BR/><BR/>I will be thinking of you. Maybe plant a tree?CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614589653181019963.post-78631076325002682392008-03-03T17:18:00.000-08:002008-03-03T17:18:00.000-08:00I get phantom kicks even now...I, too, felt shock ...I get phantom kicks even now...I, too, felt shock when I realized what they were. <BR/><BR/>I hope the memorial planning goes well. I've put mine on hold for now. I don't know why. It all just seems so futile some days. I feel like I failed him by not getting him here safely and I fail him everytime I procrastinate on things such as these. <BR/><BR/>I considered doing a butterfly release. It's something I still want to do if I follow through with a memorial. The image of those little butteflies fluttering away, carrying the spirit of my little man, makes me melt.<BR/><BR/>I'll be thinking of you as William's due date draws closer.

They treasured her blanket so much that they wanted other parents to have the same benefit and donated them in her name.<BR/><BR/>Whatever you choose, I know it will be beautiful.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614589653181019963.post-47569192594323628972008-03-02T22:22:00.000-08:002008-03-02T22:22:00.000-08:00Oh i remember so clearly those 'kicks' you feel af...Oh i remember so clearly those 'kicks' you feel after you have your bub. It would take me 5 min in the morning to remember i wasn't pg and it was just a horrible slap in the face.<BR/><BR/>Its the one thing I think should be told to all mums who have lost a baby if they have felt them kick. I was shocked when it happened and wish i had been warned.<BR/><BR/>Hugs<BR/>xxxBrenda - you can now find me at : www.lifecanbeashit.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586938007918553170noreply@blogger.com
