On Monday, it will have have been five months since Maddie was born. Today, however, is 21 weeks and 3 days – the exact number of days pregnant I was when we lost her. It’s so hard to believe that she’s been gone as long as she was with us physically.
She was such an amusing, sweet baby. When we went to her 8-week ultrasound, she was so tiny, but was bouncing all over along the bottom of my uterus, waving and kicking. When we went for her gender scan at 18 weeks, she was so incredibly active that they had to trick her into settling down long enough for them to get the heartbeat for us (she wasn’t shy about showing us that she was a little girl, though!). I just treasure every second I had with her.

Just restating what everyone else has said: glad you have those memories of Maddie and only sad you didn't get to create more. I know she's with you still though.
