Happy Easter Baby Boy

Dear Aiden,

Hello my love.....I am missing you so very much today!  Daddy and I decided to spend most of last night and today posting pictures of other angels names spelled out with your Blocks of Love.  Although I am saddened by just how many names there are to write (because I know there are that many sad mommies and daddies out there) it makes me happy to be able to do something for their families in your name.  So I have about 4 more pictures to post but then everyone on the Wait List will have their pictures!!!  Yay!! Thank you for being my inspiration every day!

Today is kind of a rough one for me.  Last Easter you were snug and warm inside me just waiting on us to figure out you were there.  And we did- about this time on Easter Sunday evening.  I was so shocked and your Daddy was too......you surprised us little man!  I can't believe you sat that quiet and still for 7 weeks without us knowing :)  I have know from that moment that you would have a calm and peaceful personality......and I loved that about you.

Oh Aiden......I miss you so much.  There was so much I wanted to be doing with my almost 6 month old son right now.  I dreamed of pictures, and clothes, and snuggling.  I long for hugs, and baths, and meal time.  I miss you being my partner in crime, my reminder, my constant companion.

This Easter is so different from last Easter.  But one thing is the same.  I feel hope, peace, and love :)  Love for you and God and your Daddy.  Peace in knowing that you are sitting in the lap of Jesus and you are safe and sound.  Hope in the promise that I will see you again one day.

I know that there is so much that God has in store for your Daddy and I.  He has used your perfect little life to push me on to the important things I need to do before I see you again. And for that my baby I am thankful.

And although I miss you like crazy every.single.day......I know you are happy, I know you are safe, I know you know that you are loved.  What more could I ask for than knowing my little man is just fine.

I made you an Easter basket last night- yay!  It's actually a little red bucket....I love it!  I decorated the outside with your name and Transformers stickers.  Both Daddy and I love Transformers- we actually watched the cartoon when we were little kids!  Your bucket is full of all kinds of goodies :)  A talking Percy train from Thomas the Train, Sponge Bob Square Pants Bubbles (your dad picked that one!), 3 cute Easter eggs with your name on them, a cute red pin wheel, your very first Easter card, and a little red and blue garden rake because I know you would have been in the garden with your Granny all the time!

She's so good at gardening and she and your Daddy are the reason your little garden looks so good!  Mommy's not the greatest at plants but I have been doing and EXCELLENT job of keeping your garden up by following strict instructions from Granny.  And it really is a beautiful garden.  Did you see the angel I put next to your special flowers?  It reminds me of you taking a little rest in the garden :)

Any way back to your Easter basket/bucket!  I think it turned out really well and Daddy liked it too.  Here are some pictures:

Mommy wrote your name next to Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime :)

Your red pinwheel- love this!!

Your Easter eggs, Sponge Bob bubbles, Percy Train, and red rake

Your First Easter Card- the ears move!!!

Your little Cami is doing well.  I took a picture of her this afternoon:

Yep that's a red ball in her mouth and yes she is trying to climb on Mommy's legs!!! She's so crazy!  I know you would have lots of fun with her!

So my love......I have to finish up the name pictures for all the angel mommies and daddies and then get ready for bed.  You enjoy the last little bit of Easter and tell everyone in Heaven I said hi!  I know you and all the other angel babies had a great day today.  Daddy and I miss you and love you more than anything.  You come visit us in our dreams soon!

I love you my little miracle angel baby......forever and ever you will be my Aiden William.....

Love,
Mommy

Happy List Saturdays #7

It's that time again! I am so glad that we've made it to another Saturday! This week my list is simple but so very important to me.  My list this week is about Easter.

♥ Thank you God for loving us so much.  Thank You for giving us everything.......

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on them should not perish, but have everlasting life.

~John 3:16

♥ Last year Easter was April 4th....I'll never forget that day.  It's the day I found out I had been carrying Aiden for 7 weeks and had no idea my precious miracle baby was growing nice and snug inside me.  It's the day I feel in love with my son. This Easter I know that my baby boy sits in the lap of Jesus and that he is happy and safe and he knows he is loved.  That makes me happy. I know that there will be new beginnings for Nygel and I and I plan to live the rest of my days in hope and love never forgetting what is really important in life.

The Easter feeling does not end. 

It signals a new beginning,

Of nature, spring, and brand new life,

And friendship, peace, and giving.

The spirit of Easter is all about

Hope, love, and joyful living.

♥ Thank you God for continuing to bless me and my family.  Thank You for continuing to bless the mamas I know who mourn for their little ones.  Thank You for holding our babies in Your arms every day.

Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger 

and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,

for they have been shown mercy

Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted

because of righteousness,

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

♥ Thank You for the promise that we will one day live with You and see our babies again.

I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. 

~John 11:25-26

Please take a moment to join in our Saturday Happy List if you can.  I always love to read what makes you happy each week.
