My Babies Are Loved

    Nothing makes me more happy than when someone says something sweet to me about my children. I love reading, and re-reading, the cards I received, I love reading the comments on this blog, and I especially love the people who have asked to see pictures of my babies and have let me talk about them. And I love the fact that I have so many great reminders of Ryker, Tommy and MaryElizabeth throughout our house. Some are from friends, some from family, and some that I bought for myself. Here are just a few of my favorites:

1. Personalized ornaments.  I got Ryker the blue one, MaryElizabeth the pink, and a green one for Tommy. I'm still looking for a good place to hang these...


2. Triple photo frame.  I chose my favorite black and white picture of each baby and put their name underneath their picture. I keep this next to my bed.   


3. Sun Catcher: This thoughtful gift came from a very special friend who lives half way across the world. She was my pregnancy buddy, as we were both expecting triplets and had due dates only days apart from each other. It must have been so hard for her to read my story, knowing she was right behind me and that not all pregnancies have happy endings. But not only did she message me almost daily to check on me and offer support, she sent me this beautiful sun catcher. It's hard to see in this picture, but the silver circle is engraved with each baby's name and I absolutely love this gift! Now I just need to find the perfect place for it.

4. Personalized cross: This was such a thoughtful gift from good friends of ours. As you can see, I love anything that has our babies names on it! I put this over the ultrasound picture from the day I found out there were 3 in there, and it's in my curio cabinet. I also have a large picture of them, their birth announcement, and 3 crystal angels in there.
