Shiloh Bear
A big thank you to the wonderful angel mamas at Molly Bears. I finally got my Shiloh Bear last month after having waited for over a year. She weighs exactly what Shiloh weighed when she was born- 6lbs, 5 oz. Feeling her weight in my arms again brought me to tears. No surprise there. When I had Shalom, I thought I was going to be so distracted that I wouldn't have time to cry and to think about all the things that I was missing out on with Shiloh. How wrong I was. I find myself crying quite a bit lately (it's gotten easier to push the pain away, so I haven't allowed myself to cry as much over the last 2 years) and of course, I still think about her constantly. There isn't a day that goes by where she isn't in some small way, incorporated into my thoughts or 'functions'. Is it possible to miss her even more? I hadn't thought so until now...
I love this photo of Shalom sleeping with her hand on Shiloh Bear. I just wish it were the real thing.

What a sweet picture! I love the idea behind Molly bears. So glad you were able to get one in memory of Shiloh.
Make miss my son even he's not come out to the world yet....
Great post!
idk how i just came across this, i think i was just looking up things on google and found your blog. i wasnt quite sure how to message you but i have almost the exact story as you do. august 26th, 2010 was my due date and she had been moving the day before, when i go in for my last check up i find out that she had died. i then had her the next morning. and now i am 35 weeks pregnant with my second child who is also a girl and from the 3D ultrasound looks JUST like naomi did. im so glad i found someone who has such a similar story :)
