Default I started jackson's scrapbook last night, help needed

What are some things I can add in? I have the cards people sent to me and pictures but there is really not much else I can think of to put in.

I saved my hospital bands, ultrasounds and hand prints and foot prints to put in Kalayna's. I also bought memorial prayer cards for the funeral that I will add in her book as well as a copy of the obituary we put in the paper and some pictures from her gravesite.

Lightbulb What I did

I didnt do a scrapbook yet ( ok I have procastinated a bit) we lost Kenneth Lee back in 1995, and 2 other angel babies in 1993,1994 but I did do a box. I have a few pictures of our little guy. The hospital took foot prints so I have that also.Let me think what else I have.
1. cards from family and friends
2. poems of comfort I found
3. Name bracelet
4. Birth and death certificate ( I had to fight for these) long story!!!
5. Dried pressed flowers recieved
6. obituary page from news paper
8. I took stationary and wrote out cards about my feelings ( what we thought when we found out his sex, our favorite names we thought about, who do we think he looked more like, ect.)
9. Copied picture of Amanda blanket I recieved.
10. A family tree and where he fit in our family
11. Pictures of proud grandparents, aunts and uncles, ect. (They didnt have to be them actually there.
12. pictures of funeral home, babies marker ect.

Maybe some of these can be helpful to you. If you would like any poems I can get you some copies and I think I have a blank family tree if you would like it. Hugs to you sweetie!!! Love-Lesia

i am pretty upset that I didn't journal this pregnancy. But, I did go through all my old SC posts and copy/pasted them into a word document with the dates. Now I can go and make a calendar of our short time together. I have a photo of our pregnancy test and a belly shot (which I never did with my other pregnncies).

There is a Chris Rice song that I love and will probably put in there somewhere. It is Breakfast Table(?).


CHRIS RICE - Breakfast Table
Album : Amusing (2005)




Was it a million miles to heaven
Too far to hear my lonely song
Or is it just my imagination I hear you humming along
I only hold you in my dreams now
I wake up with cold and empty arms
Lord help me get through this long night without you
And soon as the morning comes
Soon as the morning comes

Save me a seat at the breakfast table
Save me a dance around the Milky Way
And save me a thousand years to whisper in your ears
All I’ve wanted to say
Save me a smile and an angel’s feather
Save me a walk down the streets of gold
And baby, we’ll change our minds just like old times
And maybe we’ll just fly away
Or maybe we’ll stay

My lucky doll, you’re in heaven before me
You were my taste of heaven here
Remember we loved to talk about it, we couldn’t wait to get there
So you go on and find your way around now
But remember I’m here missing you
Do me a favor and say hey to Jesus
And tell him I’m missing him too
Tell him I’m missing him too

Then save me a seat at the breakfast table
Save me a dance around the Milky Way
And save me a thousand years to whisper in your ears
All I’ve wanted to say
Save me a smile and an angel’s feather
Save me a walk down the streets of gold
And baby, we’ll change our minds just like old times
And maybe we’ll just fly away
Or maybe we’ll stay

That is an awesome song I had never thought about. Here is another you might want, it has helped me find comfort the last couple weeks.

Hello, Goodbye
Michael W. Smith

Where's the navigator of your destiny
Where is the dealer of this hand
Who can explain life and it's brevity
Cause there is nothing here that I can understand
You and I
Have barely met
And I just don't want to let go of you yet

Noah, hello, good-bye
I'll see you on the other side
Noah, sweet child of mine
I'll see you on the other side.

And so I hold your tiny hand in mine
For the hardest thing I've ever had to face
Heaven calls for you
Before it calls for me
When you get there save me a place
A place where I can share your smile
And I can hold you for more than just a while

Noah, Hello, Good-bye
I'll see you on the other side
Noah, Sweet child of mine
I'll see you on the other side
Ohhh, Oh, Oooh
I'll see you there, I'll see you there,
I'll see you there, I'll see you on the other side
Ooohh

Noah, Hello, Good-bye
I'll see you on the other side
Noah, Sweet child of mine
I'll see you on the other side

Noah, Hello, Goodbye
I'll see you on the other side
No, Sweet child of mine
I'll see you on the other side

On the other side

I did a scrapbook and I put anything from the hospital - pictures from showers, after delivery, baptism in the hospital. Ultrasound pictures... I am sure there is more - I will have to look at the book again and post more later.

I also did quite a bit of journaling in the scrapbook even though I hadn't journaled the pregnancy.

Rivi's has his U/S pics, pictures, poems I found that remind me of him, poems I wrote for him, his hospital card, ID bands (ours and his), the HPTs that let us know he was on the way, and letters I've written him as I move through the grieving process.
