We got the urn. It wasn't like the one that I picked out, but I like it just the same. We decided to go local and I am glad that we did. I almost didn't want to go into the store. There were caskets every where. I wanted to tell Trey to floor it and get the hell out of here. I didn't. Instead I took some deep breaths and told Trey not to touch me or I would lose it.

The man was so nice. He was a grandfatherly type with kind eyes and he asked no questions. We told him that we were in the market for an infant urn and he said that he only had one. It turns out that he has only ever had one and no one had ever asked him for one. Well we liked it and the price was very good ($77). It was also simple and elegant, just like I wanted. I had no desire for one with teddy bears or something cute on it. The picture is below. It is hard to see, but he said it is a marble composite. It has the marble swirls and lines.



We are going to get a plaque made after she is born.

Afterwards I needed ice cream so we went to Marble Slab and got my favorite, cinnamon ice cream.

I keep thinking about what I would be doing/thinking right now if she was fine. I need to stop torturing myself.

On another note. My friends at work who initially wanted to throw me a shower asked if we could have a party instead. They wanted to buy me a gift certificate to a spa or something. I thought that was so thoughtful of them. I am surrounded by good people.
