IS that an actual inprint of Claire's little hand? That's incredible. What a special memory! xo
ReplyDeleteSadly, it is not her actual print, Lacey. At the hospital the nurse was only able to get her footprints. Looking back I wish I had asked for them to try again when we saw her for the last time just before we left the hospital but it wasn't something I had thought of.

DeleteA footprint is just as nice a memory, something to hold onto. I love following your blog, Jaime. Though I've never lost a baby, you sure are inspirational. I have forwarded your blog page to a few close friends in hopes to help them out through their journey. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words, Lacey, and for your support in passing my site along. I am sure your friends appreciate the help you are providing more than you will ever begin to know.
