Jenny, I didnt know you have an angel sister.
I have one too, my girls are buried with her. I didnt have any of that with my girls either, luckily I knew to take in a camera and stuff but other wise I would of walked out with the three photos of Honey and nothing from Riley Rae.
I don't know if I ever shared with you what happens here. I know I did it on Sands? We have a charity called Simba in the hospital who give you a memory box before you leave hospital. The MWs all know about it and sort it out. They have birth certificates, hand and foot print certificates, a blanket of love. They also arrange for professional standard photos to be taken in the hospital and send you these and the CD. The box itself is gorgeous and also includes all information you need about accessing support once you leave the hospital. They have a family room which is weher we slept after Bobo died. You can choose to have your baby with you and they have a moses basket there for you. They now have a Tree of Tranquility where you can add a bronze leaf in memory of your baby. It is beautiful.

I can't explain in words how wonderful they are. It was set up by a MW at Simpsons which is where I have had both my babies. They started here but have spread to quite a few hospitals in Scotland. In all honesty it is the model which should be adopted by every hospital in the UK.
