You should be proud of yourself! That's a big step. It took me 5 months. Like you I didn't plan to either. One day my husband and I began to do some spring cleaning and I just started putting my son's things away in the closet. I took his clothes out of the dresser and into storage bins. I still have his diaper bag ready for him. At some point I just looked at all his stuff in the closet and cried :( It was so hard to pack it all up but I did it and didn't cry till the end.

I lost my daughter 22th of April. Shortly after that I started taking the price tags of some of the clothes. I didnt finish and now I dont want to do it. I will do it when Im ready.
All of her things are still in the dresser. I also scanned all of the ultra sound pictures because the get ruind as time goes by. Those pictures are also in the dresser. Also the camera that I used at the hospital to take some pictures of her are in the dresser. I can say that everything that remindes me of her is in the dresser. I dont pressure myself in doing stuff that Im not ready for. I have been told that I should do it when Im ready.

It has almost been 5 months since I lost my son. We put all the baby stuff (car seat, stroller, bassinet, swing, etc) in his room. I don't know when I will turn it back into a guest bedroom, probably not for a while. I don't feel ready yet.

I put Aaron's stuff away within the first month of him being gone. I don't know why so soon, it just felt right. I put his things in my nana's basement so they wouldn't get ruined and so that I wouldn't have to open the closet and see them. I saved all of his clothes and his big stuff like the stroller, carseat, highchair, dresser, bassinet, and pack and play. But we donated a lot (like diapers, lotions, and bottles) to other people that were expecting at the same time we were. That was a little bit hard, but my husband wanted to bless others in memory of Aaron. I still have his memory box in my room with his blankets and clothes he had in the hospital. Plus there's pictures and special things that had been embroidered with his name on them.

It is a big step to pack up stuff. And I don't think theres a timeline. I think it's good advice to just do it when your ready. Hugs and love, Jessie.

Isabella's clothes were put away at a little over five months...but it took me a couple of weeks before they were all folded, sorted packed and then put in the basement. I cried some each evening all along the way. Baby things had gone down sooner. It felt right as the Summer shifted us into a new chapter - my husband left for National guard duty, i would be home alone for a bit and then traveling to visit him- so i felt like I wanted to tuck things in before leaving the house. IT felt so weird being away from home, I missed 'her' I hadn't gone anywhere since her death adn our home had become our sanctuary, I missed her altar adn 'checking in' with her daily. Anyway back home now and I still have a scrap album to finish... it all takes so much time, and I suppose it should, we had them with us for a short while, it should at least take as long as they were with us, right? Take care {hugs}

It's been almost 2 months since we lost Maynard. I haven't put any of his things away. I bought a hope chest and put some of his blankets, shoes and toys in it and placed it at the end of my bed. I have molds of his little feet that I keep on my dresser. I also have some things the hospital gave me that I keep in my closet. But, most of his things are still in his room. I go in there with the intentions of putting everything away, but instead I sit on the floor and cry. I know eventually I will get the strength to do it. It just takes time and the time to do it will be different for everyone.

I actually still have the bouncer and play mat and few things still in the baby room.Its been 11 months, I just haven't gotten around to put them away yet. I did fold up all of his clothes and put them away in the attic for now. I think I did that a couple months after his birth.

It's been 2 months today and I have not touched a thing really in Charlee's room. All her clothes are there, diapers, crib...etc. I just pile anything I find of hers or for her in there and then close the door. I cry almost every time I go in there. I don't think I will be ready for awhile. Everyone is different so I think it is when it feels ready for you...

Well done Kezz, thats quite an achievement. My daughter died at full term, and it took me almost a year to put her cot away, to empty the wardrobe full of clothes. It was the most heartbreaking thing for me to do.

And then.... one day, bit by bit i used all those things again. Not for me, i cant have anymore, but for my grandaughter, who was born 18 months later. It hurt. But it was also healing to use it again. So dont throw it away if you plan to have more. I did find it healing to use it again, and it wasnt weird either

My husband and I put most of his stuff away after about a month. I wasn't even nearly ready, but my 9 year old daughter was going to share a room with him. When she told me that she had to sleep with a blanket over her head so that she couldn't see his crib because it made her so sad. We realized that we couldn't do that to her. So we took down his crib and emptied out the closet in their room. We left up the turtle decals on the walls because she wanted those to remember him by. I still have the swing next to my bed and his clothes in the dresser though. I don't have the heart to put those in the basement yet. But the hospital bag was by far the hardest. I just put it, fully packed, in the linen closet with his blankets. Guess I'm still somewhat waiting for him to come home.

It has been 3 months for us and all of her things are in her room. I had everything ready. The room decorated, crib, changer, dresser full of clothes. My mother in law and I made the bedding.
We decided to leave it all in her room because it has become a place we can go and remember her. Also, we plan on having another as soon as we can. If the time comes and we find out we are having a boy we will pack her things away for when we do have another girl who will use it all. Otherwise it is going to stay in the nursery.
