Isaac's memory box from the hospital.
This is a casting made from his hand and foot. I just love it.
This was his baby blanket that he was wrapped up in when we held him.
The bag holds a lock of his hair, and the ribbon is to show the length from the top of his head to his itty bitty toes. :)
His little feet.
As any mom knows, after your baby is born you have an incredible awareness of their lifespan. When people come up and ask you how old, you can usually answer to the day . . . "oh, he'll be four months old in six days," and so on. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that even when you lose your baby you still think about those moments. That's how it was for me this weekend; I couldn't stop thinking about how he would be two months old today. I was trying to remember what he would be doing . . . probably giving us those sweet little smiles and cooing. He'd be filling out his 0-3 month clothes a little better and not swimming in them.
I really wish he was here.

still praying for you kimberly.
Kim - You have such tender and beautiful reminders of Isaac. I can only imagine how tough it continues to be - how there is an empty spot and space.
I'm really glad you have all of those precious mementos to cherish.
What beautiful things to have to remember sweet baby Isaac. I can even begin to imagine how you feel but know that we are still praying for you!
Sigh...I miss him too...what a beautiful baby boy, can't wait to meet him.
wow kimberly! i can't believe that he is 2 months already! you will continue to mark these milestones with isaac. my girlfriends little one who passed at birth celebrated her 7th birthday this year. you don't forget...you will never forget! and that is precious. sorry about bagging out on you all but i am glad that we did. i am sick and just continued to get worse last night. maybe this weekend?
glad I can type, cause I don't think I could talk. Thank you so much for sharing. It is so genorously loving of you. You are letting us grieve with you a little, and I love you for it.
I wish he was here too. And I wish I was there to give you hugs! I lov you so very much!
It is wonderful that you have so many things to remind you of him. I always think of you when I post updates of my Wilson because your sweet Isaac would be the same age. I wish he was here, too. Still praying for you.
Hello friend I havent seen for a long time!! I wanted to check your blog out and read about your progress. I want to tell you a couple of things... being this pregnant your loss really hit home for me and Kim I am so sorry that little Issac isnt with you. He is so lucky to have you and Ethan as parents to carry on his precious memory here, and someday when y'all get to heaven its going to be a joyous reunion. He is so beautiful and I am really glad that you have shared his picture and story on here. I couldnt help but sob reading it all because of the hurt I know you guys have been goin through. I am praying that god continues to carry you guys through each day. We love you both so much. I cant believe how big the kiddos are!
Oh you dear sweet thing! I'm so thankful that you are sharing your experiences on the blog and I find these precious keepsakes to be so moving.
I think it is natural and perfect that you would be grieving this way. I remember when my Father died when I was 15 that I would count the days and anniversaries in a similar way. In fact, Oct 13 was the 15 year anniversary of my Father's death and I still experienced some similar feelings a couple weeks ago.
I feel for you and can just tell you that this process is completely normal...and although I've never experienced losing a child, I can tell you that the grieving process will get better and easier over time.
Sending you lots of love and e-hugs, and especially prayers.
Candace
