Why Sheep?

Why sheep? The pictures I have put up are of the baby bedding I bought after I lost my son but before I got pregnant again. I ran across it and loved the sheep or lambs and the soft colors I just had to have it. It is the Wendy Bellissimo Starlight set, and it has been discontinued. I felt it was meant for me to have it because the girl I got it from didn't sell it before I got the money to buy it. I have the 5 piece crib set, a valance, a panel, the mobile, the clock, the picture, and the shelf! The reason I had to have this so much is when my baby boy died the hospital took lots of pictures of him for me to have right down to his hands and feet. I feel for most people the pictures are to disturbing to post up, but they mean the world to me. I get to remember and see what he looked liked. The pictures are beautiful they posed him and everything! Well my favorite pictures of him are the ones with him and this stuffed sheep because he looks like he is sleeping cuddled with this little sheep. The picture below is an edited version of one of them! By the way that sheep is one of those tiny beanie babies that McDonald's gives out in happy meals. I have a box that has everything they posed him with in the pictures including the sheep! So anyways, the sheep is just stuck in my memory and makes me think of my baby boy. So when I saw this bedding I thought how neat would it be to get this in honor of my son's memory for our next baby. It for me is a way of making sure he stays part of the family and to make his memory live on, and  so the next baby has a piece of him too. For me the bedding is neutral too so it works for either girl or boy! I love the soft peacefulness feeling it has, and the colors and sheep or lambs remind me of my son. The sheep or lambs represent Gabriel. I can't wait til the nursery is all set up and I get to see it. It sucks that I can't be the one to do it though I love to do things like that. I am also excited that this baby should come around Easter! There should be plenty of stuffed lambs at the store that I can send my husband to go buy. The colors are a very light blue, white, light buttercup yellow, and a sage green. The theme has lambs, sheep, stars, and a moon. I also made some pictures to hang up with the twinkle, twinkle little star poem and starlight starbright poem. I think I am going to go with white furniture to complement everything else, but we will see.
