As I was told by a mom who lost 2 babies, it didn't hurt any less to lose her second child but she knew what would help her get through it.carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393089450621191821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-83539143191528533362011-04-07T12:12:07.415-04:002011-04-07T12:12:07.415-04:00It sounds like you're doing everything you can...It sounds like you're doing everything you can to make your time with Acorn special even if the worst happens, and I can only imagine how hard all of this planning is and has been. <br /><br />Sending love to you as you go through all of this difficult planning and hoping hard for you and Acorn.ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347057746449071812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-10777009213428852792011-04-07T08:05:53.717-04:002011-04-07T08:05:53.717-04:00I am so sorry you are even having to do these thig...I am so sorry you are even having to do these thigns again.

I guess if I had my time again, and I had some prior warning we were going to lose her, I wish I could have been this organised because I do have so many regrets about all the things we missed out on doing in our brief time together. I hope if nothing else, you can come out of this with no regrets - in terms of making memories, that is. I know you'll have an ache so deep in your heart though, and I'll never even try to comprehend that.<br />I think calling NILMDTS is still a great idea. If Acorn arrives soon, hopefully you can still find a photographer sensitive enough to come out, as my friend did.<br />xoHope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-42353429036506282872011-04-06T23:16:03.929-04:002011-04-06T23:16:03.929-04:00Tears for you :( Just a note of caution, after I l...Tears for you :( Just a note of caution, after I learned that Oliver had passed away the first thing I did was go get the foot molds to do him and when he was born becuase we have them from Jack - we were unable to do them becuase of the condition of his little feet and hands and I had not thought that was a possibility.

I used a funeral home in Oakville (which I know is a little too far away for you) that did everything for free (namely the cremation, picking up Jacob from the hospital, etc). They even gave me a little urn for free and planted a tree in Jacob's name. The one I used was Kopriva Taylor. I don't think they are a "chain", but that is their name, just in case. <br /><br />I can't think of anything else right now. Unfortunately you know the drill already. <br /><br />(((hugs)))Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860497122946287983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-26930893123783914352011-04-06T16:15:12.169-04:002011-04-06T16:15:12.169-04:00i'm hoping for a live baby for you, too!i'm hoping for a live baby for you, too!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450929181331922606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-46119860378941178062011-04-06T16:14:37.707-04:002011-04-06T16:14:37.707-04:00Wow.

I've been in your shoes before but with out any knowledge as to what might happen until hours before it did and I couldn't plan at all. <br />I'm glad that during (maybe/hopefully not?!) you will have one less thing to worry about when the times comes and you'll only have to grieve. <br />I still pray ever day that you'll be a miracle case and end up in all sorts of medical textbooks and whatnot about the girl that made it past the 2nd Trimester and ended up with a healthy baby. (if I'm praying then I'm going to ask God for a lot this time!)Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360286843076465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-66003863516333202022011-04-06T15:58:52.753-04:002011-04-06T15:58:52.753-04:00If you need help with funeral costs and arrangemen...If you need help with funeral costs and arrangements, there is a great organization out of ohio. it helps nationwide though. Backinhisarmsagain.com. Get in contact with Kambra. ALSO, if you need a memory bag with molds and such, there is another organization called Project Sweet Peas. Depending on your state, there may be a local project in your state that can get you a memory bag OR a NICU bag when Acorn makes his/her entrance and may need some time in the NICU. Go to projectsweetpeas.com and look under local projects. Then you can contact your state leader, or the head of PSP directly to help. I am praying Acorn makes a healthy entrance months from now!!Radiant Readheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467915589102902588noreply@blogger.com
