Some of us need a different kind of baby book.
When my twins were born, they were very sick. Kathryn only lived two days. I have a lock of her hair, her footprints, her bands and other items from the NICU… all the normal mementos we would keep in a baby book.
She still deserves a baby book.
A different kind of baby book.
As I was seeking out items for our Mother’s Day Campaign giveaway, I reached out to my friend Lindsey of Still Breathing. Lindsey and her mother run an esty shop – Nora’s Nook and Gifts. They hand make beautiful items for grieving mothers. Lindsey and her mother offered to donate one baby album for our giveaway.
In Lindsey’s words:
In 2012 my daughter Nora was stillborn. I only had a few mementos of the short time we spent together and wanted a way to display all of those treasures. I didn’t just want a memory box as I knew I wouldn’t open it often once it was packed away. Instead I gathered all of the trinkets and treasures she left behind; pictures, lock of hair, hospital bracelet, footprints, handprints, and other reminders of her and decided to ask Nora’s grandmother, my mom, to create a baby loss memorial scrapbook.
Once I received it, I knew that other grieving parents like me would want one. So I asked my mom to create baby loss memorial scrapbook kits for others to add their own special reminders and treasures to, and that is how this shop came to be.

We all deserve a baby book for our child. This is a different kind of baby book for the mother whose baby is no longer here.
