I wanted to find something to wear after our miscarriage to remember our baby. After our first loss 10 years ago my Mom got us tiny footprint pins. They represent the size of a baby at 10 weeks, just the time of our first loss. I wore mine for a long time and eventually stopped wearing it, I think I lost one and had a replacement and lost it when I put on my seat belt. I had a bracelet made after Caleb was born with his name on it. It also had a special green bead in memory of our first loss and had CALEB spelled with little blocks.
I looked around on Etsy and found several necklaces I liked. Now that I have one child here with me and two in heaven, I wanted something to represent all three. We have a name for the first baby because of a dream I had before the miscarriage happened. But this baby we have not named yet. I chose the hearts to represent those two babies.
I just loved the heart necklace I saw at this shop called Polka Pear. I messaged the owner and asked if she could do hearts or baby footprints. She gave me the idea to do the hearts vertically on one side with Caleb on the other. I loved how it turned out! Here is a picture of it that I took from her Facebook page. The heart is shiny silver and has two green stones (for August for our first baby's due date and Caleb's birthday) and one orange stone (for November for our third baby's due date) hanging in the middle.
The owner of the shop, Sabrina, was very kind and helpful. She answered all my questions, and I appreciated that I had my necklace within a week of ordering.
She didn't ask me to do a post about this, I just wanted to because I like my necklace so much. :)Also, I am hoping to have a giveaway in the coming days here!
Go check out Polka Pear and look at her other stuff! She told me she is working on some things for Father's Day, and I look forward to seeing them.
Have a day of blessings!

It's a beautiful piece and the meaning behind it as well.
