How do you celebrate your baby's birthday?

Sam'sMom - 08:24am Jun 9, 2009 EST

I'm looking for some advice. Tomorrow would have been my son's second birthday. He was born at 23 weeks and lived for 2 days before he passed away.

I'd like to hear how other people have celebrated their babies' birthdays. It's tough for me because I would like to celebrate his life, but am still mourning his death.

Any ideas are welcome and appreciated! Thanks!

I know I am late, but Happy Birthday Sam. What a wonderful thing you did in his honor! I know he is very proud of his Mommy. Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope that you had some sort of peace yesterday. Like Lauren I am very thankful you started this thread. I love reading what other mother's did to honor their angels on their special days.

Take good care,
Yolonda
