Is anyone doing a memorial on their due date?

As Micah's due date approaches I have been thinking a lot about how I will deal with that day. Obviously it will be hard (it is already) but I just don't want it to go by like any other day. I have really wanted to get some sort of memorial jewelry but I don't think we are going to be able to afford it right now.

Do any of you have anything special planned? Or, for those of you who have already seen that date come and go, what did you do? I feel like it is an important step in my grieving and healing process.

Our babe died the day after she was born. On her birthday we have a birthday party for her, placing a cake at her altar we have set up. On the day she died, we planted a tree in the yard for her as a remembrance. I think it is a very good idea to do something to memorialize your babe and to not forget the date. It brings us a sense of peace to think about her and to think about the day.

We named our first little one "Micah," also. I knew the moment we got preg that Micah would be "his" name. It was like a gift. On our due date, we drove up a mountain and watched the sun rise (it was Sept 30 and we live in the far north, so it wasn't very early). We also went to dinner. We had an early mc, so there was no place to go to remember, like a grave. I also finished the blanket I had began knitting when we found out we were preg.
