Sterling Silver Birthstone Gem Kids. Silver Birthstone Crystal Kids Pendants. BOY-JUL 4007

I bought the boy one and got it on a simple silver chain. I picked July because that's the month our baby was still alive. I kinda had a gut feeling I was having a boy.

I bought it at the Kmart I work at. One of the managers and a good friend helped me pick it out. I had been debating what to get for a while and felt this kid charm was the best way to do it. I had nothing to remember our baby by. I was fighting back tears the rest of the day. I had to straighten up the baby stuff. DH isn't gonna be happy I spent money, but I think he'll understand this. Not having anything wasn't helping with the closure, ya know?

I'll take some pictures of it and post if anyone wants to see exactly what it looks like. It helps me feel closer some how to my baby. I don't know if that makes any sense.

What did you all do to remember your angels?

My dh bought me a locket with all my babies' birth stones. My two ds' birthstones are on the outside and th birthstone from our mc is on the inside. I was glad to have something other than a pt and papers of all my lab work to remember my baby by.

I wanted something more meaningful too.

I have a permanent reminder of my son every time I look down. On my sternum (chest) I have a huge memorial tattoo for him. It hurt like hell but not nearly as bad as the loss of him.....


Also, DH bought me a nice Celtic locket with double sides, I have a picture of Roman on one side and a pic of Brad (my DH) on the other

EDT: Cubitus, Mei Filius is Latin for Rest, My Son......I chose latin since I have a memorial tattoo for my brother who committed suicide. It says Sacrificium, which is Latin for Sacrifice...(this one is on my shoulder blade, left side)
