"If you know someone who has lost a child [...], and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that [their child] died, they didn't forget they died. You're not reminding them. What you're reminding them of is that you remember that [their child] lived, and that's a great, great gift."
--Elizabeth Edwards
I just mentioned this the other day, but very few things make me happier than somebody acknowledging my lost babies. It doesn't happen very often, and I know it's not because people don't care. It's because they just don't know what to say.
My sister nailed it. Baby Celis got this sweet sheep in the mail from her today, and I got this perfect little note that got me all teary:
 |
| The note says, "Thinking about you and your little angels. Love you, Rachel." (I was going to refer to this photo as a blooper, but is it really? Every photo's better with a cat in it.) |
In case anybody needs further proof that Danny's convinced this baby's a boy, this onesie also came in the mail today:
 |
| Danny got it from an Ebay shop, Little Munsters. (This is folded in half, by the way. I didn't want you to think I don't know the difference between a t-shirt and a onesie.) |
That's the first thing Danny's picked out for the baby all by himself. I guess a baby girl could rock it-- with the right accessories, maybe, as long as she's not one of those girls who looks like a boy until she's 2.
I may be guilty of buying a slightly girly onesie, but could you have resisted it?

Didn't think so.
Have I mentioned how difficult it is to find cute gender-neutral clothes??

It is so hard to find gender neutral clothes! I thought maybe it was a Canadian thing - we don't have as much variety as the US but I guess I was wrong!
There's nothing! Are you going to stay Team Green?
