Capture Your Grief : Day 25 // Baby shower

I never got to have a baby shower for Avery. I was 25 weeks pregnant when she was born still. There were no shower plans in the making, no guest list being worked on... But we had registered at both Target and Babies R Us. We couldn't wait to do that. We loved it.

We had many things for Avery, waiting for her in her room. Anytime my mom and I would go out on a shopping date, she would buy a few things for her. Each week, Daniel and I would pick up another outfit, and we'd even purchased Avery's coming home outfit -- a cute little brown and pink dress with flowers on it.

All of these things remained in her closet, in her room until we were moving and had no choice but to pack up her things. Even now, they're still in the same box, up in a closet. I still dream of another little girl to come home in that little brown and pink dress.
