I still have the pics of both my babies in a photo albumn that i keep in my draw. I really don't know what to do with them. I want to keep them but feel that i need to do something with them if that makes any sense. My friend said she burnt hers and that i should do the same and my nan wants to put them in a book that she is doing for me of all the pics she has of me as she says they are part of my life. She even bought some booties to put in the book. My sis thinks it is weird to have them in a book but i feel like i should.

A friend of mine scrapbooked about her loss. It helped her grieve. We must accept this is part of our history and I don't know if your friend has done that. Your nan sounds like a very wise woman.

I have the ultrasound pics of my baby. I keep them in a wooden box that i got a craft store. In it is also my hospital braclets from my D&C, a pressed flower from the flowers my son (6 years) brought me to feel better, and the cards my nieces and nephew and son made me to feel better. I also wrote the a letter about my baby so in the future, when he is grown up, my son I will know the story of his angel sister/brother. I will always keep this box with its "treasures".

I put mine in a book, and I made a scrapbook for her bereavement pics. I don't think you should burn them. These may be the only pics you have, and those are your babies. You don't have to look at them, but keep them nice so that when you do have a feeling to go peak at them you will have them. I know moms who've gotten rid of them and they regretted it. If you don't want to keep them at your house, let your nan make a book and keep the pics at her house.

I didn't have a chance to take any pictures of my baby. And I feel owful I didnt get to see him, or hold him either. Keep the pics even if you dont look at them very often. Your nan is right, your babies are part of who you are.

Definitely keep them. That was your baby. I made a scrapbook with ultrasound pictures, pictures the nurse took of her, poems, a picture of her urn. That is all I have.

I have a box where I keep all my memories of my angel. I have the pictures and the video of the first ultrasound when my baby was alive and seemed to be healthy, the hospital bracelets from my D&C, cards people sent me, petals from flowers a good friend brought me, and a book of scripture and poetry I got from this and other sites that helped me grieve...I call it my baby box. I don't look at it often but when I do I say a prayer for my baby and feel like I have done something to honor my child's passing. Keep the pictures, you won't regret it.

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...
