Ijust joined this group and was wondering if and how you honored your babies with a ritual or something tangible etc. For example,my mom had stillborn twins when I was 7 and my parents planted a tree on my grandparents farm. I just had my second miscarraige and wanted to do something like this...any thoughts...

We planted a tree for each of my first two m/c's. My third was 3 weeks ago and we have not done it yet, but we plan to. I think it is a nice way to honor a life that should have been. I am sorry for your losses.

We also planted a tree...a pretty pink flowering tree. We planted "her" in September, right around the time our baby girl would have been born. It was very special and whenever I'm thinking of her, I can go to my back window and look out at the tree and feel a little bit closer.

I had a miscarriage in March and it wasn't until the holidays have come around that I feel the need to have some kind of remembrance of the baby. I thought about a Christmas ornament but I would only see that once a year. My husband suggested that I get a necklace with the baby's birthstone...something that I can wear and no one else needs to see it...I'll just know it's there. I think planting a tree is a wonderful idea. We lease our house so it wouldn't be an option for us.

I miscarried my twins two weeks ago and have heart charms with their names and birtdays on them. I am sorry for your losses.

Our first baby was due this Christmas day- it's been a hard month. Our second would have been due in May. To honor them I had a slide made for my necklace. It has a gold forget-me-not flower. From the flower hand two mother and baby birthstone hearts. One hangs longer than the other. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Not too many people know the significance. I feel like my babies are always close to me with it. So sorry about your losses!

three days after my miscarriage, on my birthday, I got a butterfly tattoo on my foot for my baby. I've always loved butterflies and have seen them as a symbol of many things, so it was fitting for me.

My son was stillborn. While I was in the hospital, a few of my coworkers came to my house and made a flower bed. They planted a japanese maple. One of the girls made a stepping stone with Tylers name and b-day. It was done when I got home from the hospital. It is beautiful. I also have a necklace and bracelet with his name and birthstone on them. I wear one of the everyday. I am thinking of getting a tatoo with his initials on it.

I got a Tattoo on my angle of a sail boat. My babies room was decorated in the nautical theme. the date of his birth/death is under the boat with his name. Also, I got a an urn with an anchor on it as well as a photo album with all of his ultrasound pictures in it. I also bought a nice wooden chest for the DVD's of the ultrasounds and memorabilia for him and put a plaque on it that says "In Loving Memory of Seth Steven"

I got a tattoo done that I designed. I had it done about a month before the one year date of when I lost MJ. Its given me a sense of closure - I feel like MJ is always with me now.

I wear my mother's ring everyday. It has the birthstone and the names of my twin boys. I also have bracelets with their names on them that I wear often. We were given a Japanese maple tree that we will plant soon and we also were given some peace lillys that are inside the house. I also bought some Christmas ornaments with their names and birthdate on them.

I'm actually thinking about getting a tattoo done as well, i am just not sure what. I have tattoos to mark important things in my life and i think it would be fitting.

I am going to plant a flower (not sure which one yet) that represents eternity for my baby. I also wrote a letter and sent it up in a balloon. My boyfriend made a tiny headstone too.

I also have a tattoo of my hands holding a peanut that is sprouting because we'd nick named the baby peanut

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
