I've posted this picture before, but I think it just captures how happy I truly was with my sweet boy. I was 24 weeks pregnant with Wiley in this picture.
Day 3: After Loss Self Portrait
I have posted this picture before as well. This is us at Wiley's funeral. I think you can see the grief in both of our faces. Our lives are forever changed.
Day 4: Most Treasured Item

I can't just pick one treasured item. I treasure his pictures the most, I would say. But anything that touched Wiley is very special to me. This picture shows a few of my favorites. The green blanket in the front is one of the blankets that Wiley was wrapped up in. I have slept with it every night since I have been home. I freak out if it is not touching me at all times throughout the night. It is very tear-stained, mascara-stained and has 2 spots of blood on it from when Wiley had a nose bleed. His clothes, hat and other blanket are in ziplocks trying to preserve the smell and the outfit he wore the most is in the safe.
Day 5: Memorial
This is at Wiley's funeral. I just love all the beautiful flowers and that some had tractors on them. My sweet boy is so loved.
Gosh the first two make me cry. You look soooo happy and then soooo sad. I am sorry that you had to walk this path with your first baby.... heartbreaking. I sleep with Jonathan's blanket also :) Beautiful flowers for sure.
