Itty Bitty Bracelets of Love

~ Leah's Itty Bitty Bracelet of Love ~

A huge part of our journey with Leah has involved making new friends.   Since Leah went to Heaven, God has brought new women into my life who are carrying a baby (or babies) with a poor prenatal diagnosis.  It has been such an honor to walk beside them on this very bittersweet road, awaiting the arrival of their precious babies.  I began making a simple gift for each of these babies, an itty bitty name bracelet.  It is for these babies, that my heart has prayed over these past several years. 

I was given a braclet just like these for Leah during my pregnancy.  It meant so much coming from another mother who had a similar pregnancy to mine.  It came from a mother whose child was now in Heaven.  Thank you Owne's Mama!! Leah wore it often during her life, and it remains among my most precious keepsakes of my daughter.  I decided to start taking pictures and post the names of these sweet babies who remain near to my heart and will forever be with Leah in Heaven!
