There isn't a project I have worked on yet, but I do want to do something for the NICU in Brampton, the place our surviving twin spent the first few days of his life.
I would like to collect preemie sized clothing to donate. We brought our own clothes and little sleepers, but before our nurses realized that we had our own stuff there, they dressed our boy in the hospital clothing. It was the funniest sight ever, it had only been about 3 days after Julian died and it may have been my first serious giggle after my loss. Our baby was dressed like, what I called a Hobo baby. He was wearing a girls sized 6 month top that looked like a dress, a pair of 3month shorts (it was January) and he was covered in the tattiest crocheted mini blanket - he looked hilarious, and there were other babies dressed like this. I remember thinking - they need some more appropriately sized outfits here!
