"The flower symbolism associated with the daisy is purity, innocence, loyal love, beauty, patience and simplicity. Daisies are often depicted in meadows in Medieval paintings, also known as a "flowery mead." Daisies are believed to be more than 4,000 years old and hairpins decorated with daisies were found during the excavation of the Minoan Palace on the Island of Crete. Even further back, Egyptian ceramics were decorated with daisies. Daisies were used in Mary Gardens. The daisy is also symbolically connected to St. John."
When I was pregnant with Naomi, I took alot of walks, sometimes I look back on it and think maybe I shouldn't have walked so much. But being a member of this not so nice community, we all think of those things, what we should have done, or shouldn't have. I was taking a walk one day "over the hill" I call it, and I came across a bed of daisies in the field next to the sidewalk. I bent over, picked one up, and saved it. I placed it in Naomi's ultrasound mini book that I always carried with me in my purse. I placed it in there for her, even though it was going to die very quickly, I just picked it for her. And now, when I see daiseys, I think of her. I miss her alot.
Today, my friend and I have been texting slot about our babies. And I think that has got to me and I just feel emotional. I just got home from picking up my sister from school, and I got back and I hear country music playing (which I am not a fan of) but I then realized what song was playing and I hear the lyrics, "If I die young, bury me in a bed of roses..." and I just immediately had to walk to my room and let out some tears. I just am missing my sweet baby girl. Yet I look over at my sweet Sadie, laying there in her playpen ever so quietly, I am so blessed to have. I still like to think, if Naomi lived, she would look like Sadie.

It takes a lot of strength for me to listen to that song.
Im sorry you're missing your baby girl. Its a pain that will be with us forever, unfortunately. I think you're right in thinking that Naomi would have looked a lot like Miss Sadie. HUGS!
I love that song, if I die young...so sad yet beautiful!
Hi Jill! Thanks for commenting. You are right up the road! :-) I did not think any blm bloggers lived near me. I am due May 8th but scheduled for a C-Section Apr 28. Congrats on Sadie!
How weird is this?????? We have the SAME DR. The amazing Dr. Cohen! :-).
I know. Too many comments, but I know the female dr. you are talking about. If we ever chat I will tell you my story.
Thank you girls. Yeah, I heard that song and I just had to go into my room until it was over! It is a pretty song yet very very sad. & Marie! Omg, I was thinking of you. I thought, oh I hope I hear from her! I just thought omg, how ironic that I click on your profile and see you live like RIGHT across the street from me pretty much. My mouth dropped. I only know of one friend of mine, that is around here very locally as well but I had known her before it all happened :(. Wow, you have a GREAT doctor in your hands. I was supposed to have him with Sadie, but my mom suggested maybe I go elsewhere, different hospital, different doctor, just because of all what happened. But yeah, he DELIVERED me, he wasnt my OB for the whole pregnancy just that weekend that I was admitted. But he was wonderful! I HATE that lady. :( I always do think of Dr Cohen tho! I don't know if he would remmeber me tho!!? Id love to show him Sadie one day.
