The baby shower is such a special thing. Women that love and care for you and your child attend and shower your soon-to-be newborn with gifts. It's a time for celebrating and it's so much fun.
Landon's baby shower was happy and perfect. We got so many of the items we needed and so many super cute things from friends and family.
Sometimes happy and perfect times precede sad times... Landon died less than 2 weeks after his baby shower.
Landon's bassinet was packed away, unused.
Landon's bottles were packed away, unused.
Landon's clothes were packed away, unused.
Landon's crib was disassembled and packed away, unused.
My sweet Landon would never get to use any of those things. Landon was snuggled in his "coming home" outfit, a cute blue sleeper with dogs and a matching hat. He was tucked in hand crocheted blankets with one square crocheted long before he was ever born by his great-great-grandma. He was lovingly placed in a tiny white casket that mommy and daddy sealed with a kiss...
This picture from our happy times, from our baby shower is one of the last pictures of near innocence. Landon was our miracle baby conceived after years of struggling with infertility and miscarriages. Our baby shower cake said "miracle baby" and "hope".
