Gift Ideas for NICU Mummies and Mummies with Babies in the Sky

I have fallen a little in love with a website

One that I have written a sponsored post for

Uncommon Goods

The products they sell are beautiful

Unusual

And have wonderful messages behind them

Every time I browse this site

I think of fellow NICU mummies

Angel mummies

Parents who have lived through

And live with

Loss and pain

Parents who put a brave face on

Every single day

If you have one of these special people in your life

Then some of these gift ideas

May be for you

To celebrate or remember a Rainbow Baby

These beautiful paper weights

Perfect gifts for anyone with a Rainbow

Here with them or in the sky

Anyone for whom rainbows have a special place in their hearts

If you know a mummy with empty arms

It is so important to show them that you know

That they are a mummmy too

Some of these gifts

I think would do that in a stunning way

Leaving your baby in NICU

Night after night

Is not easy

The guilt you feel

For not carrying your baby

Or babies to term

You carry with you

For the rest of your days

These parents are incredibly brave

Night after night

Day after day

They show courage

And resilience

And strength beyond measure

NICU parents share many of the characteristics

Of parents who have lost their baby to the stars

I know

I have done both

These gifts

I think

Would be perfect

For NICU mummies

And mummies with babies in the stars

stars-medallion

quiet-courage

hope-basket

globe-of-hope

angel-coins

And there is this

A baby vest

That I would have welcomed as coming home outfit for Esther and William

Or to send with Matilda Mae to the stars

dream-big

Dream big, Start Small

Today has been a tough day

I wrote a post about it here

Celebrating survivors

Honouring warriors

We are all mothers

We are all parents

We are all stars

This last gift

I think would be perfect for all parents

All couples

Standing together

Looking forward

Remembering

Treasuring

United

In love

Parenting is not easy

It is all manner of wonderful things

But it is never easy

A hand-holding couple stands on top of a lively hilltop

Looking off into a vivid sky

Contemplating the path they’ve travelled together

And picturing the bright future they have ahead of them
