What a wonderfu gift and what a<br />miracle.<br /><br />Also, My mother had a friend who had lost a baby at a few months old and was having a difficult time with the same thing. Her husband had an artist do an age progression sketch for her. I don't know who did the sketch, but It did help her a lot. And she also had a doll made from that sketch at mytwinn.com<br /><br />I had a wonderful time In Runidoso visitng my family. You've got a great town there!<br /><br />My warmest regards, KimmeIrish Cottage Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02301363957251644315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039413529593217367.post-78895780553486190062009-12-19T18:37:06.675-08:002009-12-19T18:37:06.675-08:00Wow.

I can only imagine how you must've felt that you were able to see Chase again 'for the first time'. I struggle with the same thing you do: how to picture my baby. But for very different reasons. Olivia's face isn't something I want to remember, so I really have no picture at all of what to imagine. Most of the time I try and picture her as a blend of what my other daughters look like. I am so glad that you have come to the place where you can remember Chase for all his 'perfectness'.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394453146621467115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039413529593217367.post-87747663154843177402009-12-19T12:40:56.085-08:002009-12-19T12:40:56.085-08:00I am relieved to hear you say that you got those p...I am relieved to hear you say that you got those pictures. I am sure you were both glad and heartbroken at the same time. Seeing those pictures prolly brought it all back. It is hard to imagine your baby and what they would look like IMO. Carleigh had chubby cheeks like her sister. I think she would've looked very similar to her sister so when I see Kyndra I can kinda glimpse a little bit of Carleigh too. But I also know that she is uniquely herself.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039413529593217367.post-12819513452864910262009-12-17T18:50:55.960-08:002009-12-17T18:50:55.960-08:00As I began reading this I started to feel a little...As I began reading this I started to feel a little sick like... oh my gosh- please let her get those pictures- please let her get those pictures! I had a pit in my stomach because I remember where I was when I got the call that there were pictures- reading this post brought me back to that!<br />I hated my pictures though.<br />Nothing like my memories-<br />and I hated that those pictures are now more clear than the memory of that night.<br />I hate that.<br />But- I think of my Andrew who would now be six- and I feel like I can see his outline- but I can't ever focus and that is what kills me... I'll never really be able to focus in and see what he would have looked like...<br />All of my children have looked soooo very similar at birth- but grew into different individuals- ugh- how I wish I could focus.<br />Thinking of you!<br />Hugs-Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09451958236636719292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039413529593217367.post-17709464164055533282009-12-17T15:33:30.555-08:002009-12-17T15:33:30.555-08:00It is good to have those pictures.

I love how you mention that Chase loved you and you love him and that he has taught you many things. I feel the same way about my babies. xxJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349971620040597427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039413529593217367.post-28295030372051771872009-12-16T21:18:39.595-08:002009-12-16T21:18:39.595-08:00Yes, I struggle with that too.

Mackenzie will always be a baby to me. Although I'll be able to see how big she might be watching my friends babies grow up, I'll still never be able to put a different face on her...but I don't want to. I love that chubby face with all my heart and if that's all I ever get (and it is) then that's ok. I wish it were more but it can't be so I try to be content with what I got. Your son is so handsome and I'm glad you have those pics as memories.<br />xo<br />AshleyMackenzie's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362223048159041632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039413529593217367.post-65372783184747291042009-12-16T18:54:58.444-08:002009-12-16T18:54:58.444-08:00I am so happy that you were able to get he picture...I am so happy that you were able to get he picture.

I had a similar experience a few months ago when I was looking through Lachlan's photos. I noticed a folder that had photos from my parent's camera in it. Unlike the 405 photos from our own camera that I'd burned into my memory, these were a new set of photos that I hadn't seen and that I'd forgotten about. I was excited looking at them, as though I was about to discover something new about my son that I did't yet know. There were photos that my parents took when I wasn't there. It was an extra little piece of Lachlan. I'm glad for you that you have these new photos. I know it's never enough, but it's still something. I was unconscious when Lachlan was born, and am so grateful for the photos that the hospital staff took right after he was born, when his hair was still wet. ((Hug))<br /><br />I also struggle to understand how a little body that was so beautiful, so perfect could die. It's just such a terrible tragedy.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04998024692657131803noreply@blogger.com
