A thoughtful friend and lots of baby girls

Kyndal's big flower in her hair.

This is a picture of me at my babyshower for Kyndal. Almost a year ago.. I wore this pink flower in my hair since my shirt was brown I figured I needed to sport some pink for her arrival. A good friend had given me this flower the day we found out that Kyndal was a girl. Rian and Chloe brought over pink cupcakes, and this hairflower. It was packed in the bag for Kyndal at the hospital and she wore it for many of her pictures that we took of her. The gerber daisy is important to our family now. I think of Kyndal when I see one. The flower overpowered her little head, but it sure was cute. I still wear the flower quite often.. Holiday's mostly..
so she is in our pictures :)



I also wore it at her funeral. In her vase of flowers at her gravesite there is a big gerber daisy too!



Crystal is a great friend who actually put Kyndal's blessing dress in a shadow box for me and has been a great support through Kyndal's death. She came to the hospital more than once.. offered her hugs and thoughts. She lost Sage in March 09 to SIDS. We visited a few times after his death, and she is an amazing friend. We love to get together and talk about our babies that are now in heaven. She had Ellie a few days ago, and I got to meet her last night. She is adorable and it's so fun to see how happy their whole family is with this new gift right from heaven.
The night of her delivery, it was stormy and I couldnt help but think of Sage throwing a fit up there having to let his sister come to earth...
Her mom posted this on her blog and wanted to copy it to mine..
( her mom took all of the pictures at Kyndal's funeral, viewing and burial..)
( from Liz's blog)
This picture we took in memory of Kyndal Ann White, daughter of Crystal's dear friend Cori White. Kyndal was born still October 8, 2009. Cori wore a pink flower at her shower and then wore that same flower at her daughters funeral. The pink flower is in memory of Kyndal. We like to think of Sage and Kyndal together with Ellie before she was born. Telling her about all her wonderful family and this amazing place we call " earth". In Memory of Kyndal.

I bawled as I read this on her blog. It was wonderful to see someone remember Kyndal other than us. This family is so thoughtful and I am happy they have a rainbow baby.
Thanks Crystal and Liz!

Monday, my dad's girlfriends daughter JoAnn had a baby Jenni..
( a little early so she is still growing but will be home soon)

Joe and Diane had a baby girl on Wed morning at home.. and I am so glad everything went well.

Crystal and Spencer had Ellie on Tue night..

Lots of baby girls

  1. Oh Cori we really do love you and your family. Were it not for Sage and Kyndal we may never have gotten acquainted...it seems we are always trying to see the good in the bad. I thought of you the entire time at Crystal's baby shower and I new it could not have been easy for you to be there. Stuff like that has been hard on Crystal too. But you were there sharing in her joy and I know one day we will be there to help you celebrate a rainbow baby of your own. You and Crystal are chosen mothers, pre ordained in Heaven, to bring those two special babies to earth, provide them with bodies so they an return home. What an honor, a difficult one for sure, but an honor still the same. Thank you for your beautiful post of gratitude. We think of you often and your little Kyndal...she has touched our hearts.

  2. I keep crying every time I read over your blog. Spencer asked why I was crying. I handed him the computer and said read the post. He started crying....then he left to go some where and called to tell me it really touched him. Kyndal and your family is always in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you coming and loving on my little girl. I look forward to seeing you pregnant and holding a baby in your arms again. I did not know this little girl was going to bring so much joy to our home. She has been such a blessing to us.

  4. Oh my goodness, Cori and Crystal! You both just make me bawl! I love you both so much!

    Cori I have been thinking about Kyndal a lot lately and have been having dreams about you guys too! A few times that I have really been thinking about her, I get goosebumps out of no where and I can't help but think she and I are having a little visit. I think she likes it when I think about her mommy. I have no doubt she is with you and loves you so much! I miss her and always remember what a strong spirit surrounded her. Love you!
