Well I know this is a little late but I survived Valentines Day, without crying my eyes out the entire day. I missed my baby girl, but I know she was with me helping me get through the day. On the Monday before Valentines Day I went out and had to buy Aiden his present so I went to Target first. The first card I saw when I got to the card section was a little pink card that read "For Baby Girl's 1st Valentines Day". I started to get teary eyed and picked it up and I knew I had to buy it for Amelia. I went through Target, avoiding the baby section like I always do and was able to get what I needed without seeing any babies or pregnant women a fricking miracle these days! I then headed to the flower shop to pick up a balloon for Aiden and Amelia.They each received a stuffed animal and balloon and of course Amelia got some new fresh flowers. When I got home I set up Amelia's Valentines gifts on her table and wrote in her card. I thought it turned out cute, and of course I cried because this she will never get to enjoy the balloon or the stuffed monkey or a Valentines Day with me, it's just so damn hard and unfair. So Valentines Day came the next day and Seth got home early from work and took me out for lunch and bought me a pink orchid (one of my favorite flowers) and then that night Seth and I made a Valentines dinner and it was nice just being home with my boys. I also worked on filling Amelia's keepsake box with her precious little things. The box turned out beautifully and I love it and will cherish it forever, it fits perfectly on my dresser in our bedroom so I see it every morning when I wake up and every night before I go to sleep.
I see you have a Willow Tree sitting there. I collect them :) I now have a "pregnant one," two with a mama and her baby, one called "Healing Grace," and one with a little girl holding lilies, for my girl Lily. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you always have fresh flowers for Amelia! So precious.
You mentioned Target and avoiding the baby section. I do the exact same thing. That's where I was registered for my baby shower and spent so much time. And there are literally thousands of pregnant ladies and babies there NONSTOP! It's insane. Glad I'm not the only one who notices this haha
I'd love to see what is in Amelia's memory chest. I treasure Lily's!
